βYves Olade, When Rome Falls
Including book quotes, poetry, song lyrics and everything in between, these are some of the words that make my soul wish someone cared about me so much they would write this.Β
βBecause you are the only person I can talk with about the shade of a cloud, about the song of a thought β and about how, when I went out to work today and looked a tall sunflower in the face, it smiled at me with all of its seeds.β
β Vladimir Nabokov, Letters to Vera
βMy mouth hasnβt shut up about you since you kissed it. The idea that you may kiss it again is stuck in my brain, which hasnβt stopped thinking about you since, well, before any kiss. And now the prospect of those kisses seems to wind me like when you slip on the stairs and one of the steps hits you in the middle of the back. The notion of them continuing for what is traditionally terrifying forever excites me to an unfamiliar degree.βΒ
β Alex Turnerβs Letter to Alexa Chung
βAnd Iβd give up forever to touch you / βCause I know that you feel me somehow / Youβre the closest to heaven that Iβll ever be / And I donβt want to go home right now.βΒ
β From the songΒ βIrisβ by The Goo Goo Dolls
βIβm not a religious person, but I do sometimes think God made you for me.βΒ
β Sally Rooney, Normal People
βIt is late now, I am a bit tired; the sky is irritated by stars. And I love you, I love you, I love you β and perhaps this is how the whole enormous world, shining all over, can be created β out of five vowels and three consonants.β
βΒ Vladimir Nabokov, Letters to Vera
βI could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.β
β Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
βIf all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.β
β Emily BrontΓ«, Wuthering Heights
F. Scott Fitzgerald
βI am turned inside out by the ache in your voice, the taste of your tongue.β
βVandana Khanna, Summer Mantra in "Afternoon Masala: Poems By Vandana Khanna"
Someone once wrote that a novel should deliver a series of small astonishments. I get the same thing spending an hour with you.
E. Lockhart
The girls Iβve loved always remind me of angels. Itβs not lost on me, the irony. Love is always the closest I get to religion, to pearly white gates. Theyβre still gates, though, and they donβt open for me.
