“Deep feelings always mean more than they are capable of saying.”

“The only meaningful thing we can offer one another is love. Not advice, not questions about our choices, not suggestions for the future, just love.”

“Better to be silent than to speak without a thought.”

“I forgot everything. Your lips were so beautiful.”

[      ] is the morning that clots itself like bloodlines and the ache that unfurls

“When you love someone, you say their name different. Like it’s safe inside your mouth.”

“I hunger for your taste, your smell, the feel of your soul touching mine.”

“Sometimes an understanding silence was better than a bunch of meaningless words.”

“But then it passed, as all things do.”

“All your grief hasn’t changed a thing. What you have lost will not be returned to you. It will always be lost. You’re only left with your scars to mark the void. All you can choose to do is go on or not.”

“Above all else, it is about leaving a mark that I existed: I was here. I was hungry. I was defeated. I was happy. I was sad. I was in love. I was afraid. I was hopeful. I had an idea and I had a good purpose and that’s why I made works of art.”

“To know that one does not write for the other, to know that these things I am going to write will never cause me to be loved by the one I love (the other), to know that writing compensates for nothing, sublimates nothing, that it is precisely there where you are not—this is the beginning of writing.”

“When life sucks, throw yourself into art.”
