I have my father's nose and all his rage, but I have my mother's face and her grief. Rage, I have learned to wear. My mother's grief, however, folds my spine and lives beneath my ribs. It gets heavier and heavier.

Being a person didn't come naturally to me the way it seemed to for others. People who were sure of themselves awed me. I studied them and tried to mimic their ease.

I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because ā€˜romantic’ doesn’t mean ā€˜sugary.’ It’s dark and tormented — the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can’t attain.

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile, the world goes on.

Before I die, I want to be somebody's favourite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.

To say we were 'in love', that vague weakened phrase, cannot express it. We loved each other, we lived in each other, through each other, by each other. We were each other.

Hatred would have been easier. With hatred, I would have known what to do. Hatred is clear, metallic, one-handed, unwavering; unlike love.

My father is a good man. Sort of. He is good when I compare him to His own father, and that’s enough. I hope. My father and I are more alike than I’d care to admit, and whenever I feel Pure rage, I know I am my father’s daughter.

My feelings for you are biblical; that is they are intense, reckless, arrogant, risky and unconcerned with the way of the world. I flaunt my bleeding wounds, madden with my certainty.

A lover? Maybe. Something tender, anyway. But tender like a bruise.

I long for you; I who usually longs without longing, as though I am unconscious and absorbed in neutrality and apathy, really, utterly long for every bit of you.

I'll write to you even if there's no reason / I am madly in love with your name.

I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times .. In life after life, in age after age, forever.
