“Fino al giorno in cui mi minacciarono di non lasciarmi più leggere, non seppi di amare la lettura: si ama, forse, il proprio respiro?”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“But the thing is, jumping off cliffs is kinda my thing. That’s
the choice. I love him, with all that, because of all that. On purpose. I love
him on purpose”
― Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

“But even I know that love doesn't steer by logic, nor is power distributed evenly. Lovers arrive at their first kisses with scars as wells as longings. They're not always looking for advantage. Some need shelter, others press only for the hyperreality of ecstasy, for which they'll tell outrageous lies or make irrational sacrifice. But they rarely ask themselves what they need or want. Memories are poor for past failures. Childhoods shine through adult skin, helpfully or not. So do the laws of inheritance that bind a personality. The lovers don't know there's no free will. I haven't heard enough radio drama to know more than that, though pop songs have taught me that they don't feel in December what they felt in May, and that to have a womb may be incomprehensible to those who don't and that the reverse is also true.”
― Ian McEwan, Nutshell

“I have infinite tenderness for you. I always will. My whole life.”
― Emma - Blue Is the Warmest Color
