“How much can you change and get away with it, before you turn into someone else, before it's some kind of murder?”

“Sorry I missed you at the station. And that I'm too afraid to say anything that I can't take back.
I am full to the brim of myself, infatuated and governed by the weight of my own emotions.
It's not what you deserve, but I fear that this creature is not capable of love or worthy in return. It's filled with shame and need and made you reconsider yourself and cry when he left and desperate to be whole and to be needed even if you only like water, even if only in the most carnal, the most basic. We are all animals, in the end, reduced to this. I watched it shatter in pieces across the hardwood floor. Is this love or fear?”
― Richard Siken

“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.”
― Richard Siken

“Laws are meaningless, child. There is nothing more important than love. And no law higher.”
― Cassandra Clare, Lady Midnight
