redamancy the act of loving the one who loves you; a love returned in full

Act with wisdom, but act.

Seek Salvation by your own hands. Though the losses be grave... Endure them. Though the victories be hollow... Claim them.

But this terrible individualism must inevitably have an end, and all will suddenly understand how unnaturally they are separated from one another. It will be the spirit of the time, and people will marvel that they have sat so long in darkness without seeing the light.

I will not let it be for nothing. I… I will earn this.

nothing is real go let love destroy you

It was only much later that I began to understand that simply being there is also a form of giving.

Your words say "no", but your expression betrays an irrepressible desire to lend a hand.

You can have my heart if you have the stomach to take it.

"When something gets broken, it can be fixed," he stretched out his arm again. "Good as new." "Maybe not good as new," I said. "but good anyway."

You see the world the way you want it to be. I see the world the way it is. You are idealistic to a fault. But I know you would never turn your back on those in need. Never close your eyes to their suffering.

Do you love me enough that I may be weak with you?

He is half of my soul, as the poets say.

It's stubbornness, it's the refusal to give up, the clutching of broken shards despite the searing pain and being adamant that dammit you can still make a beautiful stained glass window out of it.

It will not be easy to revisit the past, but sometimes one must look back to see the way forward.

I’m a romantic, an absurdist. I am bad with facts and I get confused. I’m a hostile witness. I didn’t want to see this, talk about this. I wanted to testify to something else.

Like sands through the hourglass, everything we fight so desperately to protect slips through our fingers… and what remains… what remains… Is us. Only us, and the memory of our sin.

The truth is that you can be struggling and still be loved. You can be difficult and still be cared for. You can be less than perfect, and still be deserving of compassion and kindness.

The only lasting peace is the peace within your own soul.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.

A house divided cannot stand, you know.

The sun will rise eventually. It always does. Things look worst right before dawn, after all. Look at the beams of moonlight through the window. There are stars, if you let yourself see past the night.

For those we have lost. For those we can yet save.

Truth does not do as much good in the world as the appearance of truth does evil.

Oh, do not look at me so. A smile better suits a hero…

It will not be easy to revisit the past, but sometimes one must look back to see the way forward.

And remember, the fault lies with the deceiver, not the deceived. You did what anyone would do.

Everyone has a difficult time coping, and at times, we all fall apart. During these times, we aren’t always easy to be around — and that’s okay. No one is easy to be around one hundred percent of the time.

We reached for each other, and I thought of how many nights I had lain awake loving him in silence.

You live inside me, the same way I live inside you. A moebius strip, a snake always swallowing its own tail. Mutually assured destruction, maybe, or mutual deification. Mutual consumption. I will be the house that holds every part of you.

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

please take care of yourself. i know it's hard but you deserve someone who cares about you. one day that will be more than just yourself. i need you to hold on until you make it there. please promise me you'll try.

That you committed a terrible sin, I do not dispute. But if you feel remorse, you may yet make amends. We offer you that chance. Take it, or you will forever remain a prisoner, not of these cruel shackles, but of your own guilt.

I will not let it be for nothing. I… I will earn this.

But that’s why I’m so trustin’ now. ‘Cause I know what it means to fall on hard times. How much it can mean t’have someone in yer corner. Nobody makes it all by ‘emselves on this earth. Gotta have at least a few good pals, don’t ya think?

May the bridges I burn light the way.

The people you call bad guys might be doing what they think is right, too. Ever think of that?

The fact that you’re struggling doesn’t make you a burden. It doesn’t make you unlovable or undesirable or undeserving of care. It doesn’t make you too much or too sensitive or too needy. It makes you human. Everyone struggles.

The atoms that make up my body aren't mine, it's just my time to use them.

I love you. I’m glad I exist.

eros fiery and irrational passion and desire; a love that can take a hold of you and cause one to lose control; to fall deeply and madly in love

When the world falls down around you, and hope is lost, when you find yourself alone, amid a lightless place, look to the distance. Know that I am there, and that I watch over you always.

No, the fact is, I’m nothing like them, and maybe I never will be, but I’ll be damned if I don’t try.

philia love of one’s friends; deep comradery and loyalty

To transform the world, to recreate it afresh, men must turn into another path psychologically. Until you have become really, in actual fact, a brother to everyone, brotherhood will not come to pass.
