"When you're surrounded by all these people, it can be even lonelier than when you're by yourself." In a crowd, the void sometimes feels more profound.
Every heartbeat whispered the same plea: "Don't leave me alone in this vastness."
"I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way."
To feel deeply is both a curse and a gift; it means to experience the heights of joy and the depths of pain.
"Perhaps that’s what all human relationships boil down to: Would you save my life? or would you take it?"
Still, there is this terrible desire to be loved. Still, there is this horror at being left behind.
diana wynne jones, from "howl's moving castle" / jane austen, from "sense and sensibility" / toni morrison, from "god help the child" / hannah harrington, from "saving june"

"I have been in love with no one, and never shall," she whispered, "unless it should be with you." How beautiful she looked in the moonlight!
Under the silvery sheen, love's truths are whispered, and the world fades away, leaving just two souls entwined.
"There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope." Even in the darkest nights, your presence feels like a dawn.
"The moon stays bright when it doesn't avoid the night." And so does love when it confronts its fears.
Moonlit confessions, silvery promises. The night bears witness to a love profound.
"In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary." Especially love, which shines brightest in the darkest hour.
oscar wilde, from "de profundis" / aaron rose / rumi / john ruskin

My home is not a place, it is people.
Home is the person or place you want to return to over and over.
To build a home is to build a life; but to find home in another is to find life itself.
Home isn't where you're from, it's where you find light when all grows dark.
For the two of us, home isn't a place. It is a person. And we are finally home.
What I love most about my home is who I share it with.
I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.
lois mcmaster bujold / naomi judd / anonymous / pierce brown, from "golden son" / stephanie perkins, from "anna and the french kiss" / tad carpenter / maya angelou
