Quotes

Дар'яhas quoted20 hours ago
This morning, I felt despair and a longing for them, and a sureness that we would never be close as long as I lived.
Yaz Arreolahas quotedlast year
Human love is grossly flawed, and even when it isn’t, people routinely misunderstand it, reject it, use it or manipulate it. It is hard to protect a person you love from pain, because people often choose pain; I am a person who often chooses pain.
Yaz Arreolahas quotedlast year
Love as a cheap stuffed toy bounced off your head – it’s a brilliant metaphor and a true one. But the metaphor for love that I feel more deeply is a lost, hungry little animal dying as it tries to find its way back home in the cold. It isn’t truer. But I feel it more.
