"How? How does it work? How do you do this to someone?"

I don’t know how to be with you right now, and that scares the shit out of me. Because if I am not with you right now, I have this feeling we will get lost out there.

‎”The best thing for being sad,” Merlin says, “is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then—to learn… That is the only thing which the mind can never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.”

"Four years ago, I was just a guy, who had a crush on a girl, who had a boyfriend. And I had to do the hardest thing that I’ve ever had to do, which was just to wait. Uh, don’t get me wrong; I flirted with her. Pam, I can now admit in front of friends and family that I do know how to make a photocopy. Didn’t need your help that many times. And uh, do you remember how long it took you to teach me how to drive stick? I’ve been driving stick since high school so, yes. For a long time that’s all I had. Just little moments with a girl who saw me as a friend. And a lot of people told me I was crazy to wait this long for a date with a girl who I worked with. But I think even then I knew that I was waiting for my wife. I would like to purpose a toast, so if everyone would please raise your glasses… to waiting."

Funny thing about a kiss. If it comes at the right time, from the right person - it can be like magic and bring you back to life. Like CPR, but with tongues, it can take away the doubt and the fear and can change you - even if it’s back into what you always were. An all original. Grade A. Badass.

I asked you to sleep in the shape of a trench
so that I might know shelter.

I drew the word surrender in the mist of your breath,
waving a white sheet around your body.

"I believe that sex-positive feminism is about the belief that sex can be beautiful, it can be ugly, it can be difficult to deal with or easy to understand; some kinds of sex are widely misunderstood, and some kinds of sex are widely stereotyped; some people are really into sex, and some people aren’t; but most importantly, all kinds of sex are okay as long as they happen among consenting adults."
