or to convince them. 

You are free to love without an agenda.”

I Don't Understand Dating

“I don't understand dating... 

and the other things that people do... 

all I know is that you ought to find the one you recognize. 

The one who gives you four arms, four legs, 

four eyes, and has the other half of your heart. 

There's only one of those, 

so what are all the other things for? 

Like dating?”

Hugh And I

“Hugh and I have been together for so long 

that in order to arouse extraordinary passion, 

we need to engage in physical combat. 

Once, he hit me on the back of the head

That was romantic, or would have been 

had he rushed to my side rather than 

stepping over my body to fetch the dustpan.”

~ David Sedaris, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim

Words Were Weapons

 his father had taught him that, 

and he'd wanted to hurt Clary more 

than he'd ever wanted to hurt any girl. 

In fact, he wasn't sure he had 

ever wanted to hurt a girl before. 

Usually he just wanted them, 

and then he wanted them to leave him alone.”

~ Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

Please, Touch Me

“Please, touch me, I pray.”

The first time was enough. 

The second time was a chance. 

The third time means you're stupid.”
