    Jeanette Winterson
    “If I rush at this relationship it's because I fear for it. I fear you have a door I cannot see and that any minute now the door will open and you'll be gone. Then what? (...) You said, 'I'm going to leave.'
    I thought, Yes, of course you are, you're going back to your shell. I am an idiot. I've done it again and I said I'd never do it again.”
    Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

    Lily King
    “It’s a particular kind of pleasure, of intimacy, loving a book with someone.”
    Lily King, Writers & Lovers

    Jeanette Winterson
    “You’ll get over it…” It’s the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don’t get over it because ‘it” is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no-one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?”
    Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

    Jeanette Winterson
    “She arches her body like a cat on a stretch. She nuzzles her cunt into my face like a filly at the gate. She smells of the sea. She smells of rockpools when I was a child. She keeps a starfish in there. I crouch down to taste the salt, to run my fingers around the rim. She opens and shuts like a sea anemone. She's refilled each day with fresh tides of longing.”
    Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

    “. . . .how easy it is to destroy the past and how difficult to forget it.”

    Bill Watterson
    “Isn't it sad how some people's grip on their lives is so precarious that they'll embrace any preposterous delusion rather than face an occasional bleak truth?”
    Bill Watterson, The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

    “I love you."
    "You've loved other people but you still left them."

    Cathy Burnham Martin
    “Liars are highly unlikely to admit their lies, never mind apologize for the hurt they’ve caused. Liars don’t genuinely apologize. Deceit has become their full-out lifestyle. They are centered on themselves with no thoughts of the consequences of their lies. In cowardly style, they tell more lies to try and cover their tracks. They are not good at admitting they actually have shortcomings.”
    Cathy Burnham Martin, The Bimbo Has Brains: And Other Freaky Facts

    Jeanette Winterson
    “Now that I have lost you I cannot allow you to develop, you must be a photograph not a poem.”
    Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

    Jeanette Winterson
    “Cheating is easy. There's no swank to infidelity. To borrow against the trust someone has placed in you costs nothing at first. You get away with it, you take a little more and a little more until there is no more to draw on. Oddly, your hands should be full with all that taking but when you open them there's nothing there.”
    Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

    Naoise Dolan
    “If asked ‘Why don’t men commit?’, you’ll say ‘They will, just not to you’; if asked ‘Why don’t women commit?’, you’ll say ‘Commit what, suicide?”
    Naoise Dolan, The Happy Couple

    C. JoyBell C.
    “The difference between my darkness and your darkness is that I can look at my own badness in the face and accept its existence while you are busy covering your mirror with a white linen sheet. The difference between my sins and your sins is that when I sin I know I'm sinning while you have actually fallen prey to your own fabricated illusions. I am a siren, a mermaid; I know that I am beautiful while basking on the ocean's waves and I know that I can eat flesh and bones at the bottom of the sea. You are a white witch, a wizard; your spells are manipulations and your cauldron from hell yet you wrap yourself in white and wear a silver wig.”
    C. JoyBell C.

    “And Celine gives you culture. Without her, your life appears barren.”

    Fernando Pessoa
    “If after I die, people want to write my biography, there is nothing simpler. They only need two dates: the date of my birth and the date of my death. Between one and another, every day is mine.”
    Fernando Pessoa, Poems of Fernando Pessoa

    Caroline O'Donoghue
    “If I had known it would end so quickly, I would have treasured it more. (...) Don't go, I beg her silently. Don't go, don't go, don't go.”
    Caroline O'Donoghue, Scenes of a Graphic Nature

    Jodi Picoult
    “You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.”
    Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper

    Caroline O'Donoghue
    “We took turns at who was the big spoon and who was the little one. Laura would complain that I was too thin, too many bones, and that made me a terrible big spoon. But I liked feeling as though I was protecting her. Like I was her scrawny little guard dog, protecting her from the draught coming in from the single-glazed windows. There was no question that she was the superior big spoon: all marshmallow curves and hair that would occasionally float over my shoulder so it looked like I had the kind of princess femininity that came so easily to her.”
    Caroline O'Donoghue, Scenes of a Graphic Nature
