— Kahlil Gibran

“Yes, darling honey, I am a misery without you. So don’t, I beg, be foolish walking over mountains. If you break a leg, I break my heart, remember.”

Mr. E Gallery ‘Sisterhood Of The Moon And Stars’ v1 (van Dongen) (03-22)

When Ocean Vuong wrote “Don’t we touch each other just to prove we are still here?“ and Alex Turner sang “And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you’re there? / Or have somebody’s goodnight kisses got that covered?”

  — Penelope’s Song, Louise Glück  

[text ID: Who wouldn't want you? Whose most demonic appetite could you possibly fail to answer?]

— Letters to Véra, Vladimir Nabokov

[text ID: Listen, my happiness—you won’t say again that I’m torturing you? How I’d like to take you off somewhere with me—you know how those highwaymen of old did: a wide-brimmed hat, a black mask, and a bell-shaped musket. I love you, I want you, I need you unbearably . . . Your eyes—which shine so wonder-struck when, with your head thrown back, you tell something funny—your eyes, your voice, lips, your shoulders—so light, sunny . . .]

Anne Sexton ― Rapunzel
