“We are hashest on the ones we love the most.”

“because we all know that the books we’ve loved best are seldom the ones we esteem the most highly”

“The big uncookable sections of who we are, they’re the ones I love to taste the most.”

“There are certain delicate illusions that make life bearable. Love, in its most pure and pathetic form, the one before we get to genuinely know the person we love, is one of them. Ignorance is bliss, and the less you know, the more you love, the less you have, the more you want.We all miss the most the things we never had.”

“Maybe when we recognize the trivial for what it is, we can concentrate on what we love most, what we most treasure.”

“What’s that about? Love must be more about power than we think, if even in its most intimate moment of expression we think about not being the one who risks the most.”
