This hole in my heart is in the shape of you. No one else can fit it. Why would I want them to?

Yes, the past is another country, but one that we can visit, and once there we can bring back the things we need.

Lovers are not at their best when it matters. Mouths dry up, palms sweat, conversation flags and all the time the heart is threatening to fly from the body once and for all. Lovers have been known to have heart attacks. Lovers drink too much from nervousness and cannot perform. They eat too little and faint during their fervently wished consummation. They do not stroke the favoured cat and their face-paint comes loose. This is not all. Whatever you have set store by, your dress, your dinner, your poetry, will go wrong.

I knew it like destiny, and at the same time, I knew it as choice.

I am good at walking away. Rejection teaches you how to reject.

Do you fall in love often?" Yes often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, a cat, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers, with nothing at all.

I've never been tempted by God but I like his trappings.
