I deleted your number. Although I know the tired digits by heart, Scout’s honor, pinky promise. I am trying to talk myself out of every emotion I’m having, and of course, it is failing to a fault. I’m still sad, I’m still mad, I’m still heartbroken, I miss you.—Elizabeth Brooks

It’s probably what I love most about writing—that words can be used in a way that’s like a child playing in a sandpit, rearranging things, swapping them around. They’re the best moments in a day of writing—when an image appears that you didn’t know would be there when you started work in the morning.” – Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.”― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Manon, Ballerina
I hope something happens. I’m restless as the devil and have a horror of getting fat or falling in love and growing domestic.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise
“What a terrible mistake to let go of something wonderful for something real.”
― Miranda July, No One Belongs Here More Than You
We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we were. I have already lost touch with a couple of people I used to be;― Joan Didion, Slouching Towards Bethlehem
“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.” – Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

“..people mostly have it backward. They think they live by what they want. But really what guides them is what they’re afraid of. What they don’t want.”

Feeling sad means having too much time on your hands, usually. Really – Gillian Flynn, The Grownup
The last thing I wanted was infinite security and to be the place an arrow shoots off from. I wanted change and excitement and to shoot off in all directions myself, like the colored arrows from a Fourth of July rocket.” ― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.W. H. Auden
