The World Motivation
All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart.
““Why are you touching me?"”
““His lips soften into a smile that cracks apart my spine. He repeats my name like the word amuses him. Entertains him. Delights him.”
“I'm oxygen and he's dying to breathe.”
“Things are changing, but this time I'm not afraid. This time I know who I am. This time I've made the right choice and fighting for the right team. I feel safe. Confident”
“I could’ve sworn I was telling the truth when I told you I didn’t miss you.”
“There is nothing on earth more beautiful to me than your smile...no sound sweeter than your laughter...no pleasure greater than holding you in my arms. I realized today that I could never live without you, stubborn little hellion that you are. In this life and the next, you’re my only hope of happiness. Tell me, Lillian, dearest love...how can you have reached so far inside my heart?”
“Give the ones you love wings to fly, roots to come back and reasons to stay.”
“Oh, Lizzy! do anything rather than marry without affection.”
“Let me wake up next to you, have coffee in the morning and wander through the city with your hand in mine, and I'll be happy for the rest of my fucked up little life.”
“Life is such unutterable hell, solely because it is sometimes beautiful. If we could only be miserable all the time, if there could be no such things as love or beauty or faith or hope, if I could be absolutely certain that my love would never be returned: how much more simple life would be. One could plod through the Siberian salt mines of existence without being bothered about happiness. Unfortunately the happiness is there. There is always the chance (about eight hundred and fifty to one) that another heart will come to mine. I can't help hoping, and keeping faith, and loving beauty. Quite frequently I am not so miserable as it would be wise to be.”
