– You can't do things that you don't want or things that you don't enjoy just to make me happy. – But I like making you happy. (Normal People, 1x06)

I whisper hoarsely in his ear, "I love you," three times in such a tone that he is frightened. "I love you so much I even want to give you women!" (Anaïs Nin, Henry and June)

If I let him do this to me, what else will I allow? Anything, anything. (Catherynne M. Valente, Deathless)

“I could not live in any of the worlds offered to me — the world of my parents, the world of war, the world of politics. I had to create a world of my own, like a climate, a country, an atmosphere in which I could breathe, reign, and recreate myself when destroyed by living. That, I believe, is the reason for every work of art.”

— Anaïs Nin
