“You think I’m only here to witness the remains of love exhumed. You think we’re here to play a game of who loves more than whom. If you call, I will answer. If you fall, I’ll pick you up. If you court this disaster, I’ll point you home.” Barenaked Ladies - Call & Answer ✪

“Sometimes, when I look at you, I feel I am gazing at a distant star. It’s dazzling, but the light is from tens of thousands of years ago. Maybe the star doesn’t even exist any more.

“Maybe the first time you saw her you were 10. She was standing in the sun scratching her legs. Or tracing letters in the dirt with a stick. Her hair was being pulled.

And part of you thought: Look at me.” Nicole Krauss, The History of Love ✪

“I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. I want to live like I’m on fire and love starting right now as if it were my final hour.” Eilen Jewell - "Final Hour" ✪

“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute & it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour & it seems like a minute.” Lingering Ruminations ✪

“If a boy likes a girl, women are a mystery. If a girl likes a boy, men are a puzzle. If they like each other, it’s a damned Gordian knot, but sometimes it just works out anyway.” མི་ལ ✪
