“Frankly, I had no idea how anyone knew if they were in love in the first place. Was there ever a single thread a person could pick out from the knot and say “Yes—I am in love—here’s the proof!” or was it always caught up in a wretched tangle of ifs and buts and maybes?”

“The ability to feel is a strength, not a weakness.”
― Margaret Rogerson, An Enchantment of Ravens

“But isn’t absurdity part of being human? We aren’t ageless creatures who watch centuries pass from afar. Our worlds are small, our lives are short, and we can only bleed a little before we fall.”
― Margaret Rogerson, An Enchantment of Ravens

“I don’t think you can date a letter like this. A love letter, by definition, should be timeless or what’s the point? I love you, but only for that moment and then my love expires? What’s the universe’s problem with forever? It lets the geese get away with it.’

‘The geese?’ Rachel asks.

‘They mate forever.”
― Cath Crowley, Words in Deep Blue
