“You remember too much,
my mother said to me recently.
Why hold onto all that? And I said,
Where can I put it down?”
― Anne Carson, Glass, Irony and God

My trip has reminded me how large the world is and how I so badly wish to meet everyone and see everything. I'm cursed with my short existence.

I tell you what, I can't help coming here to-morrow, I am a dreamer; I have so little real life that I look upon such moments as this now, as so rare, that I cannot help going over such moments again in my dreams. I shall be dreaming of you all night, a whole week, a whole year.
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights

I'm sick of just liking people. I wish to God I could meet somebody I could respect....
J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey
We don't fall in love with people because they're good people. We fall in love with people whose darkness we recognise. You can fall in love with a person for all of the right reasons, but that kind of love can still fall apart. But when you fall in love with a person because your monsters have found a home in them-- that's the kind of love that owns your skin and bones. Love, I am convinced, is found in the darkness. It is the candle in the night.

"I drank, and even in that drunken state, the only truth I could speak of was you.
I dreamt, eyes open, of your gaze and the gentle lightning behind your eyes.
I rambled like a preacher, about your cat smile and the divine warmth your hands bring to my soul- of the music in our hearts.
I spoke, like a fool, of how I love you."
