If Equal Affection Cannot Be

“If equal affection cannot be,

Let the more loving one be me.”

~ W.H. Auden

We Rip Out So Much

“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured 

of things faster than we should that we go 

bankrupt by the age of thirty and have 

less to offer each time we start with someone new. 

But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything —what a waste!”

~ André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

We Are Not Written

“We are not written for one instrument alone; 

I am not, neither are you.”

~ André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

Most Men

“Most men claim to desire driven, independent and confident women. 

Yet when confronted with such a creature reverence often evolves into resent. For just like women, men need to be needed.”

~ Tiffany Madison
