The first image is an excerpt from Anecdote of the Pig, by Tory Adkisson. It reads:

'let me be very clear: every version of the story ends with you being slaughtered.'

The second image is a piece of dialogue, without a given source. I have found it posted here by @asoftepiloguemylove, but currently can't confirm if they are the original author. It reads:

ACHILLES: I know. I know. But just because I won't be here tomorrow doesn't mean I'm not here now. Can you acknowledge that I live? That we lived? PATROCLUS: I grieve for our future every day. I don't have the heart to grieve our past as well.

The third image is a quote from House of the Dragon, 1x07. It reads:

We have always been meant to burn together.

The fourth image is an excerpt from Plainwater by Anne Carson. It reads:

I: I wanted to know you. M: I wanted far more.

The fifth image is an excerpt from The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessner. It reads:

That was the thing. You never got used to it, the idea of someone being gone. Just when you think it's reconciled, accepted, someone points it out to you, and it just hits you all over again, that shocking.

The sixth and final image is an excerpt from Lighthousekeeping by Jeanette Winterson. The second line and final sentence have been highlighted in yellow. It reads:

My pulse ebbs with yours. Death frees us from the torment of parting. I cannot part with you. I am you.
