Sit This Out, And You Could Have Destiny.
Love it — everything about it: The length of it, its sly flattery, its way of teasing you toward a punchline that you quietly guess — and which it’s guessed you guessed — moments before you get there. I’d call right now if I could but poor eyesight and bad hand-eye coordination would quickly disqualify me. The next iteration of this should probably come with a ball attached to a cord.

I’m afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run if you will, so I’m afraid I have something of a mess on my hands.

“knot” ring. The ring symbolizes a knot that is not quite tied yet, but has all intentions of being tied. A promise ring. <3
This is love, she thought, isn’t it? When you notice someone’s absence and hate that absence more than anything? More, even, than you love his presence?”
— Jonathan Safran Foer (Everything Is Illuminated)
”(“Let’s stand under a tree,” she said.
“Why?”
“Because it’s nicer.”
“Maybe you should sit on a chair, and I’ll stand above you, like they always do with husbands and wives.”
“That’s stupid.”
“Why’s it stupid?”
“Because we’re not married.”
“Should we hold hands?”
“We can’t.”
“But why?”
“Because, people will know.”
“Know what?”
“About us.”
“So what if they know?”
“It’s better when it’s a secret.”
“Why?”
“So no one can take it from us.”)”

When you are young, you think it’s going to be solved by love. But it never is. Being close — as close as you can get — to another person only makes clear that impassable distance between you.’
If being in love only made people more lonely, why would everyone want it so much?’
Because of the illusion. You fall in love, it’s intoxicating, and for a little while you feel like you’ve actually become one with the other person. Merged souls and so on. You think you’ll never be lonely again.”
— Nicole Krauss
And if the man who once upon a time had been a boy who promised he’d never fall in love with another girl as long as he lived kept his promise, it wasn’t because he was stubborn or even loyal. He couldn’t help it.”
— Nicole Krauss (The History of Love)
She was gone, and all that was left was the space you’d grown around her, like a tree that grows around a fence. For a long time, it remained hollow. Years, maybe. And when at last it was filled again, you knew that the new love you felt for a woman would have been impossible without Alma. If it weren’t for her, there would never have been an empty space, or the need to fill it.”
— Nicole Krauss (The History of Love)
