You shut down

“The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your eyes or just staring into space”

“She didn’t break up with him Because she fell out of love She broke up with him Because she decided She valued herself More than she valued Her love for him”

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

“These violent delights have violent ends.”

“Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?”
