“You can stop swimming now, Lily. We finally reached the shore.”

"Please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere"

"Because sometimes the only way to learn is to live"

Pardon my sanity, in a world insane.

“We are the only poets, and everyone else is prose.”

"What if I told you I'm incapable of tolerating my own heart?"

"Oh, goddamn. My pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand."

"You drew stars around my scars. But now I'm bleeding."

"You weren't mine to lose."

"Books are the mirrors of the soul."

"You can aim for my heart, go for blood. But you would still miss me in your bones."

"I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you. I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you"

“I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life."

"Nothing ever ends poetically. It ends and we turn it into poetry. All that blood was never once beautiful. It was just red."

"For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream."

“who shall measure the heat and violence of the poet’s heart when caught and tangled in a woman’s body?”

“Please never forget that the sun rises and sets with your smile. At least to me it does. You’re the only thing on this planet worth worshipping.”
