“They are so young, they forget that the world is not as in love with them as they are.”
“Love yourself. Then forget it.Then, love the world.”
“There are so many people. It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined.”
“I seem to remember even from when I was very young that when you loved someone you also hated them for making you love them, since loving someone is so incredibly humiliating.”
“Young people think they are invincible, that nothing bad will ever happen to them, and then something changes: they fall in love. And the world begins to seem a lot more fragile.”
“Love is so short, forgetting is so long.”
