“And I’d choose you; in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I’d find you and I’d choose you.”

— Unknown

Gustav Klimt, The Kiss // Robert Winthrop Chanler, Leopard and Deer

"Romantic obsession is my first language. I live in a world of fantasies, infatuation and love poems. Sometimes I wonder if the yearning I've felt for others was more of a yearning for yearning itself. I've pined insatiably and repeatedly: for strangers, new lovers, unrequited flames. While the subjects changed, that feeling always remained. Perhaps, then, I have not been so infatuated with the people themselves, but with the act of longing."

-Melissa Broder, from "Life without Longing," The New York Times

“Red lips. You don't know whether it's lipstick, wine or blood. And I want you to dare to come and taste it, but promise me you won't run away when you find out.”

– Devon (c.l)
