Petrova Poetry

“We can destroy what we have written, but we cannot unwrite it.”

“A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.”

“There must be something in books, things we can’t imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there.”

“I don’t just want to take your breath away. I want to rip it from your mouth and keep it locked away between my teeth. You can only have it back if you kiss me again.”

“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.”
