“In spite of everything I loved you, and will go on loving you—on my knees, with my shoulders drawn back, showing my heels to the headsman and straining my goose neck—even then. And afterwards—perhaps most of all afterwards—I shall love you, and one day we shall have a real, all-embracing explanation, and then perhaps we shall somehow fit together, you and I, and turn ourselves in such a way that we form one pattern, and solve the puzzle: draw a line from point A to point B…without looking, or, without lifting the pencil…or in some other way…we shall connect the points, draw the line, and you and I shall form that unique design for which I yearn. If they do this kind of thing to me every morning, they will get me trained and I shall become quite wooden.”
—Vladimir Nabokov, Invitation to a Beheading (via larmoyante)
“I will love you if I never see you again, and I will love you if I see you every Tuesday.”
—Lemony Snicket (via larmoyante)
“I guess that’s just part of loving people: you have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up.”
—Lauren Oliver (via leezymeezy)
“Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.”
—Robert H. Schuller (via larmoyante)
MODERN VAMPIRES OF THE CITY

“Isn’t it funny? I’m enjoying my hatred so much more than I ever enjoyed love. Love is temperamental. Tiring. It makes demands. Love uses you, changes its mind. But hatred, now, that’s something you can use. Sculpt. Wield. It’s hard, or soft, however you need it. Love humiliates you, but hatred cradles you.”
—Janet Fitch, White Oleander (via lazyteen)
