“Love is a quiet, reassuring, relaxing, pottering, pedantic, harmonious hum of a thing; something you can easily forget is there, even though its palms are outstretched beneath you in case you fall.”

—Dolly Alderton, Everything I Know About Love

“What are you trying to control?”

“Everything”, I said, realizing it as I said it out loud. “I'm trying to have a hand in everyone's opinion of me. How everyone behaves towards me. I'm trying to stop bad things happening. Death, disaster, disappointment. I'm trying to control it all.”

"It's time to crash and as it shatters let me shatter into you."

"I'm talking though I shouldn't be."

"Oh, I've never been so fragile."

"I've lost all sensibility."

"I swore that he smiled and I felt my heart drop."

"A fairy talе moment could have occurred..."

"Innocent crush on the morning commute."

"I've rejected affection for years and years."

"Can I say that? Don't have a clue."

"I'm scared of flies, I'm scared of guys."

"Someone please help 'cause I think I've fallen in love this time."

"Maybe I should run, I'm only 21."

"I don't even know who I want to become."

"I still freeze when I look at these faded photographs from February."

"Didn't realize we had it all."

"Do you live in New York City or a couple towns away?"

"Do you have green eyes or are they brown like mine?"

"We will drive up to the mountains? Camp in a little tent?"

"Don't know how I've been acting lately. Absent minded, kind of crazy."

"Talking to my room, singing for the Moon..."

"The world feels smaller, yet the trees look taller."

"Losing my mind, drunk on jazz and wine."

"I've never been in love before."

"I'm full of foolish song and out my song must pour."

"In a perfect world, I wouldn't have met you at all."

"Why did you put me through eleven months of you're so pretty's, I miss you's?"

"It's absurd what even occurred between autumn and spring."

"Unfortunately, I can't trust anybody that tells me anything."

"It's heaven or so they say."

"Are these songs just telling plain old lies?"

"When will someone prove to me that this isn't a fantasy?"

"And my best friends found a new guy."

"I've never had a shoulder to cry on."

"I guess that I'm missing you..."

"You are my hometown love."

"Silly boy, don't talk to me."

"Now the gin is hitting me and it's almost half past three."

"You're a charmer, that's for sure, but I can't stand anymore."

"Am I crazy or seeing things?"

"Up the staircase, first door to your left."

"Every record I have ever heard I know every melody and every word."

"Guess I won't be living in here anymore."

“i think that you are looking for an extraordinary kind of love, but i don’t think, for what it’s worth, that you want to be loved in an extraordinary way. i think what you want is to be loved plainly and quietly, without spectacle or anxiety.”

[melodysbookhaven]

“It is futile and knackering to try and make all your tiny choices representative of your moral compass then beat yourself up when this plan inevitably fails. Feminists can get waxed. Priests can swear. Vegetarians can wear leather shoes. Do as much good as you can. The weighty representation of the world cannot rest on every decision you make.”

We all know we’re going to die, and yet we still live. We shout and curse and care when the full bin bag breaks, yet with every minute that passes we edge closer to the end. We marvel at a nectarine sunset over the M25 or the smell of a baby’s head or the efficiency of flat-pack furniture, even though we know that everyone we love will cease to exist one day.
