I will love you when you are shrivelled and ancient…We might have a mortal lifetime, but it will belong to us and no one else.

Ariadne, Jennifer Saint

Life is as messy as a bag whose owner never cleans it out. You have no idea when you might reach in and pull out a piece of old trash, and you’re afraid someone is going to look through your bag someday.

I Want to Die but I want to Eat Tteokbokki , Baek Sehee

No man is an island, but a woman can be if she needs to be.

Beautiful Ugly, Alice Feeney

You have your regrets and I have mine. I sit on the porch step for a while, thinking about life’s tricks, the ones we see, the ones we don’t.

Heart the Lover, Lily King

Things happen and we have to learn to live with them, as long as suicide is off the table, that is. If we can find meaning in them, fine, but even if we can’t, we still have to live with them.

Blue Sisters, Coco Mellors
