love storiees & other obvious things

"The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people
much more strongly
than even the final surrender;
because this first kiss already has within it that surrender."

— Emil Ludwig

In Which the World is Burning Somewhere Else

 "What should I do about the wild and the tame? The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. I want to be held. I don’t want you to come too close. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at nights. I don’t want to tell you where I am. I want to keep a place among the rocks where no one can find me. I want to be with you."

Jeanette Winterson
