“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.” ― Anaïs Nin
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

So if you had missed any of the quotes of the week, here is a quick recap and follow our FB page to keep yourself updated.
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
“In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did and why you no longer need to feel it.” ― Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

“..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
I know exactly how that is. To love somebody who doesn’t deserve it. Because they are all you have. Because any attention is better than no attention. For exactly the same reason, it is sometimes satisfying to cut yourself and bleed. Augusten Burroughs, Running with Scissors
