“Quotes”🗣

“I wish I could fall in love with a man, but there are too many beautiful women.”

“Unhealthy love is two people stoking a shared fantasy of desperate beauty, weaponizing passion and desire.”

“Tell me, just this once, if you still think of me. And let me recklessly, tenderly, tell you one more time: I love you.”

“For a long time, my hidden shame had made me push everyone away. I’d rejected them before they could reject me. I ran away from close relationships even with the people who loved me. I was a blind man fallen into the ocean.”

“Only healthy people are capable of being in love. Using love to treat an illness just makes the illness worse. I realize that’s exactly what I did: I used love to fight illness and it ruined me. I have to change my ways. I can’t be like that anymore.”

“The fact is, most people go through life without ever living. They say you have to learn how to construct a self who remains free in spite of the system. Andyou have to get used to the idea that it’s every man for himself in this world. It requires a strange self-awareness, whereby everything down to the finest detail must be performed before the eyes of the world.”
