❛ in all my fairy tales, the witch is always the one that's pretty. ❜

❛ who told you all princesses are kind and pretty? ❜

❛ she hates everyone apart from herself. ❜

❛ who cares about destiny? if someone shows up when you need them, you call that destiny. ❜

❛ my father's soul is dead, but he's physically alive like a zombie. ❜

❛ don't forget any of it. remember it all and overcome it. if you don't overcome it, you'll always be a kid whose soul never grows ❜

❛ you remind me of someone i used to know. a woman whose eyes completely lacked warmth. ❜

❛ i want you to be my safety pin. keep me under control so i won't explode. ❜

❛ there's something we always say to patients who recover. "hope i never see you again." ❜

❛ you're not avoiding me. you're just running away because you're scared. coward.❜

❛ but today, for the first time, i suddenly thought maybe i was just running away because i wanted to. ❜

❛ you see, when life is unbearably hard the easiest way out is to run. ❜

❛ some things can't be torn apart no matter how hard you try to do so. ❜

❛ how can you define a relationship in just one word? every encounter we've had was awfully dramatic, being an inch away from death. ❜

❛ every moment we crossed paths, we surprised each other. if such coincidences, one after another, somehow led us here, how would you define our relationship? ❜

❛ it'd be such a cliche to say that we're destined for each other. ❜

❛ i hope you read a lot of fairy tales and wake up from your dreams ❜

❛ don't look up at the stars in the beautiful night sky. look down at your feet that are stuck in a filthy sewer, accept your reality. ❜

❛ do children have to be useful to their parents? ❜

❛ what do you think i really wanted, satiating my hunger or feeling someone's warmth? warmth—this is what i truly wanted. i didn't want to be just fed. ❜

❛ your lies carry a sense of sincerity. it makes me want to believe them. ❜

❛ it's fine even if it's fake. putting on a smile isn't so hard to do. ❜

❛ is everything yours once you set your eyes on it? if you can't make it yours, you would even destroy it to get your hands on it. ❜

❛ you call that love? that's just obsession and greed. ❜

❛ don't bother wasting your emotions on me. i don't deserve any of that. ❜

❛ i'm sorry for running away when i was the one who liked you first.i regretted it the moment i turned away. ❜

❛ i'm done with being someone who is needed by others. ❜

❛ but the heart is a liar. it stays quiet even when it's hurting. ❜

❛ if you want to be fashionable, you must be uncomfortable and stubborn. ❜

❛ "get lost." do you know how many times you've said that to me? ❜

❛ last night, it sounded like you were begging me not to leave. ❜

❛ last time i ran away, but today i thought i should stay with you. ❜

❛ i think that's why we're meant to be. you're patient and i'm volatile. ❜

❛ like a bomb and its safety pin, we go hand in hand. we're meant to be together. ❜

❛ i feel like you're taming me. ❜

❛ i keep doing things i wouldn't normally do because of you. ❜

❛ he doesn't have anything to offer. i must've thought i could be the one to fill up his empty life. ❜

❛ she has the face of an angel, but there lives a demon inside. ❜

❛ if you keep a secret to yourself, you end up getting frustrated. you need to tell someone in order to relieve your stress. ❜

❛ your rationality can never win against your desires. ❜

❛ she's very lonely, but she doesn't want anyone to know that so she pushes people away. ❜

❛ i told you that i can no longer hold myself back. i guess i can't run away anymore.❜

❛ i dreamed the impossible dream. i should've known my place. ❜

❛ you were like a firecracker to me. a one-time event. i had my fun, so it's time for you to get out of my life. ❜

❛ i'm not a firecracker. i'm a bomb! i don't disappear once i explode. i blow up and kill everyone! ❜

❛ you're not taking me away from him. he now has one more person who will stay by his side. ❜

❛ i don't care who it is. i will not forgive anyone who messes with my family. ❜

❛ are all parents automatically forgiven for all the bad things they did before they die? ❜

❛ the one who neglects and turns a blind eye to the abuse is worse than the abuser.❜

❛ when i see you smile at me, i forget everything else. ❜

❛ stop pretending like it doesn't hurt. stop pretending like you're okay. ❜

❛ you pretending to be okay and me seeing that masked face will make me walk on eggshells around you. it'll suffocate me. i'll be tormented. ❜

❛ the one that torments you can also be the one to save you. ❜

❛ if you can't erase it, you just need to cover it with something better. ❜

❛ you belong to yourself and i belong to myself. ❜

SENTENCE  STARTERS :  BLUETS  BY  MAGGIE NELSON

❛ do not, however, make the mistake of thinking that all desire is yearning. ❜

❛  please do not write to tell me about any more beautiful blue things. ❜

❛  we don’t get to choose what or whom we love. we just don’t get to choose. ❜

❛  perhaps the same could be said of the heart. ❜

❛  but whether there is a violence at work here remains undecided. ❜

❛  thus begins the adventure, the high romance, the romance of seeking. ❜

❛  blue is something of an ecstatic accident produced by void and fire. ❜

❛  and the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. ❜

❛  and what kind of madness is it anyway, to be in love with something constitutionally incapable of loving you back? ❜

❛  are you sure that it cannot love you back? ❜

❛  can it die? does it have a heart?  ❜

❛  but how can it be? how can it be? was i too blue for you. was i too blue. ❜

❛  is there a good kind of hustler? ❜

❛  i have been trying, for some time now, to find dignity in my loneliness. i have been finding this hard to do. ❜

❛  loneliness is solitude with a problem.  ❜

❛  mostly I have felt myself becoming a servant of sadness. i am still looking for the beauty in that.  ❜

❛  what I know: when i met you, a blue rush began. i want you to know, i no longer hold you responsible. ❜

❛  can a reflection be a witness? can one pass oneself the sponge wet with vinegar from a reed?  ❜

❛  this is how much i miss you talking. this is the deepest blue, talking, talking, always talking to you. ❜

❛  but please don’t write again to tell me how you have woken up weeping. i already know how you are in love with your weeping. ❜

❛  this is generous, for to be close to your pain has always felt like a privilege to me. ❜

❛  at times i have heard it said that we don’t dream in color. but surely this is a mistake. ❜

❛  for who would be so concerned about a flower in this world? i’ve never heard of anyone being in love with a flower. ❜

❛  thus begins the adventure, the high romance, the romance of seeking. ❜

❛  one of the last times you came to see me, you were wearing a pale blue button-down shirt, short-sleeved. i wore this for you, you said. ❜

❛  i’m in love with you both in completely different ways.  ❜

❛  eventually you will have to give up this love, it has a morbid heart.  ❜

❛  whenever i speak of faith, i am not speaking of faith in god. ❜

❛  we cannot read the darkness. we cannot read it. it is a form of madness, albeit a common one, that we try.  ❜

❛  to take a breath of water: does the thought panic or excite you?  ❜

❛  to see blue in deeper and deeper saturation is eventually to move toward darkness. ❜

❛  what depression ever felt like a fire? ❜

❛  rather than your face as a young woman, i prefer your face as it is now. ravaged. ❜

❛  to wish to forget how much you loved someone—and then, to actually forget—can feel, at times, like the slaughter of a beautiful bird who chose to make a habitat of your heart. ❜

❛ this acceptance bewilders me: sometimes it seems an act of will; at others, of surrender. ❜

❛ i suppose it is possible that one day we will meet again and it will feel as if nothing ever happened between us. ❜

❛ i believe in the possibility—the inevitability, even—of a fresh self stepping into ever-fresh waters. ❜

❛ letting a particularly potent person inside you, can alter you irrevocably. ❜

❛  it often happens that we treat pain as if it were the only real thing: everything before it, around it, and, perhaps, in front of it, tends to seem fleeting, delusional. ❜

❛  perhaps, in time, i will also stop missing you. ❜

❛  in any case, i am no longer counting the days. ❜

❛  i want you to know, if you ever read this, there was a time when i would rather have had you by my side than any one of these words.  ❜

❛  but now you are talking as if love were a consolation. ❜

❛  love is not consolation, it is light...  ❜

❛  when i was alive, i aimed to be a student not of longing but of light.  ❜

SENTENCE  STARTERS :  ALONE  WITH  YOU  IN  THE  ETHER  BY  OLIVIE BLAKE 

PART ONE, BEFORES

❛ they see you closer than you are, but you’re further from reach than either you or they can imagine. ❜

❛ what are you thinking about today? ❜

❛ maybe tomorrow, everything would be different. ❜

❛ take me home, stranger. ❜

❛ maybe we should break up. ❜

❛ you’re one of those brainy fucks, right? ❜

❛ your future self will always see what your present self is blind to. ❜

❛ cigarettes are extremely out of fashion. and they’re bad for you. ❜

PART TWO, CONVERSATIONS

❛ you’re obviously a very good liar, ❜

❛ if i were a liar, wouldn’t my lies be extremely valuable currency to me? ❜

❛ i don’t think we’re really capable of loving the things our parents love. ❜

❛ can you make this less like an interview, please? ❜

❛ the point is, you’re observing me too closely. ❜

❛ i was formerly a thief. ❜

❛ did you get the lies you came for? ❜

❛ you want to puzzle me out like a math problem. ❜

❛ crime doesn’t make a person complex, everyone has a history. ❜

❛ do you want me to leave you alone? ❜

❛ i want to see what you see. ❜

❛ are you interested in me? ❜

❛ i’m not trying to predict you. i’m trying to understand you. ❜

❛ couldn’t you predict me if you understood me? ❜

❛ i like it, your brain. ❜

❛ right, one impossibility at a time. ❜

❛ i wasn’t really thinking about you, to be honest. ❜

❛ it’s very… austere, isn’t it? ❜

❛ i could study you for a lifetime, carrying all of your peculiarities and discretions in the webs of my spidery palms, and still feel empty-handed. ❜

❛ don’t hold hands with anyone ever again. ❜ 

❛ there she is. queen of chaos. ❜  

❛ don’t worry, you’ll fit perfectly. don’t worry, there’s nothing here for you to break. ❜

❛ there, now it looks like somebody cares about you. ❜

❛ there is nothing worse than being predictable. nothing smaller than feeling ordinary. ❜

❛  so don’t speak. just stay here with me, just breathe. ❜

❛  haven’t you been paying enough attention to run? ❜

❛  don’t go, just stay. settle over me like the tide, cover me like a blanket, wrap around me like the sun.❜

❛ i think that, for someone to get close to you, you must have to give them one key at a time. and even then, only one level can be opened at once. ❜

❛ you know, it’s poor form to accuse a lady of lying all the time.❜

PART THREE, KEYS

❛ do you imagine things? Is your life a dream or a chart? ❜

❛ come closer, let’s see what happens, let’s see how the stars shine on your skin. ❜

❛ i know you’re not stupid. that’s the worst part. ❜

❛ all this time we’ve been talking and you’ve been syncopating your breath to mine and your pulse to mine and your thoughts to my thoughts, you’ve been learning how to love me, haven’t you? ❜

❛ if i am a lover of impossible problems then you will have loved me for my impossibilities. ❜

❛ what else matters but this, me, us? ❜

❛ am i imagining this? ❜

❛ i want to see your art. ❜

❛ this night is stolen, i want grand larceny and this is petty theft. ❜

❛ austere. it’s a cold word. ❜

❛ you have never understood beauty and all the worse for you, you never will. ❜

❛ i am more addicted to the thought of your name on my tongue than i am to any other form of vice. ❜

❛ the thought of having you is more dangerous than any cocktail of drugs, the idea of belonging to you endlessly destructive. ❜

❛ it’s a fire. i used to burn out, now i just burn.❜

❛ his name is written on my skin, he scarred me. ❜

❛ you just seem like you’re looking for something to overwhelm you.❜

❛ you can’t fix me. ❜

❛ i don’t see anything to fix. ❜

❛ thank you for the shape you took in my life but it’s over now, it doesn’t fit. ❜

PART FOUR, FIRSTS

❛ something is wrong with us, we are unwell, no one has ever felt any of this without destruction. ❜

❛ empires have fallen like this. ❜

❛ my god, what a waste of time doing anything else but holding you. ❜

❛ jesusfuckingchrist what have you done to me? ❜

❛ go on, ruin me. wreck me, please. ❜

❛ am i the girl who stays while others leave? ❜

❛ i love your brain.❜

❛ can you love my brain even when it is small? when it is malevolent? when it’s violent? can you love it when it doesn’t love me? ❜

❛ i’m going to tell you my secrets. ❜

❛ come home with me. ❜

❛ i want your future, i want it for me. ❜

❛ i’m going to replace those memories, i’m taking them back for me. ❜

❛ i want you to say everything, anything. i want to have your thoughts, i want to bottle them, i want to put them in my drawer for safekeeping. ❜

❛ jesus, we’re fucked, aren’t we? ❜

PART FIVE, VARIABLES

❛ come outside, come look at the stars. ❜

❛ i worry that if you try to keep up with her, you’ll burn out. ❜

❛ you’re wrong about her. ❜

❛ ether is what they called the air in the realm of the gods. a shining, fluid substance. ❜

❛ you poor thing, what a curse. i wonder which god you angered.❜

❛ you can’t just live in your past lives. ❜

❛ so this is what it is to love something you cannot control, it feels precisely like terror. ❜

❛ i thought you’d be sick of me by now. ❜

❛ every time you love, pieces of you break off and get replaced by something you steal from someone else. ❜

❛ yes, it is perilously wonderful to suffer so sweetly with you. ❜

❛ can’t you see how intangibly i exist, and how perilously? ❜

❛ will I always fear him as much as I love him? ❜

PART SIX, TURNS

❛ you really haven’t changed, have you? ❜

❛ you can always undream me, unbelieve me. ❜

❛ i’m strange, okay we’re both strange, nobody understands us except for us. ❜

❛ you think i don’t know that there’s something wrong with me? ❜

❛ i think you need me more than you want me. ❜

❛ there’s a difference between cravings and compulsions. ❜

❛ i love your brain even when i fear it. ❜

❛ have i already destroyed this little fledgling thing i tried to nurture? ❜

❛ whatever you are made of, i am made of it, too. ❜

❛ it isn’t pretty, it’s lonely, it’s desolate, it’s a chilling portrait of vastness. ❜

❛ she does burn me, she ignites me. ❜

❛ she is my hope and for that she is dangerous, unequivocally, but she is also alive, unreservedly. ❜

❛ it’s you and me right now, stranger ❜

❛ it’s you and me alone in the ether, and you don’t even know it yet. ❜

❛ this is what it looks like to love you; it looks like an abyss. ❜

❛ all falls come with danger, but not us. not us, we float. ❜

❛ because you and i, we are so different, aren’t we, and yet we are more like each other than the rest of the world is like us. ❜

❛ you're a very handsome man. ❜

❛ why aren't you married? ❜

❛ i am quite certain i was never meant to marry. ❜

❛ marriage would only make me deceitful and i don't ever want that. ❜

❛ you sound so sure about things. ❜

❛ you're just acting strong… for who? not for me, i hope. ❜

❛ it is only the expectations and assumptions of others that cause heart ache… ❜

❛ i feel as if i've been looking for you for a very long time. ❜

❛ if that's your wish, i hope it comes true for you. ❜

❛ have you had enough to eat? you seem thirsty. ❜

❛ i think he's being too fussy... ❜

❛ accept her invitation. if you can stomach it. ❜

❛ let me collect myself for a moment. ❜

❛ she's very beautiful, like a sculpture of some kind. ❜

❛ this is meant to be a nice evening. ❜

❛ let me serve you. ❜

❛ usually, you always tell me what you think. ❜

❛ i don't know what i'm doing here. ❜

❛ i wanted time with you. i wanted to have you to myself. ❜

❛ you have me all the time. ❜

❛ is it because you think i don't need you? ❜

❛ are you a special agent sent here to ruin my evening and possibly my entire life? ❜

❛ do you have a gun? you here to kill me? ❜

❛ stop playing this game! ❜

❛ what game? what precisely is the nature of my game? ❜

❛ why don't you just fuck off to back where you came from? ❜

❛ if you're going to make her a ghost, go ahead and do it. ❜

❛ don't let her sit around waiting for you. ❜

❛ don't pick a fight with me, you certainly won't come out alive. ❜

❛ i don't know what the hell came over me. ❜

❛ i've never really felt like this before. ❜

❛ i'll take care of you.❜

❛ i think this is clear. he wants you to fuck off. ❜

❛ i miss you. i think about you all the time. ❜

❛ i hear your voice say my name when i dream. ❜

❛ i just miss you, it's as simple as that. ❜

❛ i want to tell you everything. ❜

❛ i don't ever want to be without you. ❜

❛ i want to try and be terrific. even for an hour. ❜

❛ people have done this before, but not us. ❜

❛ we point at it; poke at it like a wound— ❜

❛ i don’t want to be only the landscape. ❜

❛ i want to give you something, or i want to take something from you. but i want to feel the exchange. ❜

❛ maybe we could meet at that table under the tree. ❜

❛ why must we practice this surrender? ❜

❛ i haven’t given up on trying to live a good life. ❜

❛ i wanted to tell you straight away so we could grieve together. ❜

❛ what is it they say, heartsick or downhearted? ❜

❛ i liked so much to talk to someone in the dark. ❜

❛ but i swear i will play on this blessed earth until i die. ❜

❛ tell them you didn’t come to disturb the night air and throw a fit, then get down in the dark and do it. ❜

❛ i’m afraid that I won’t do the right thing in the face of disaster. ❜

❛ i was suddenly some safer form of fire. ❜

❛ i thought everything was behind me: death, and dying, and sickness. ❜

❛ i didn’t know I was changing my life— that i would have done anything that what was left of me would become so ruthless to survive. ❜

❛ you’re the muscle i cut from the bone and still the bone remembers, still it wants. ❜

❛ but love is impossible and it goes on despite the impossible. ❜

❛ i’m cold in my heart. ❜

❛ i tell you i will love someone that you will never meet. ❜

❛ i think, how scared i would be if i were death. ❜

❛ is it weird to say that i could hear you dying like that? ❜

❛ after it was done, i couldn’t go back to my life. ❜

❛ it wasn’t the same. i couldn’t tell if i loved myself more or less. ❜

❛ i am beautiful. i am full of love. i am dying. ❜

❛ let me slip into a life less messy. ❜

❛ we’ll live forever. every moon will be a moon of surrender. ❜

❛ oh my new obsession, his hands! i thought i could die. ❜
