“I want so badly to believe that there is truth, that love is real. And I want life in every word to the extent that it’s absurd. I know you’re wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the fear that your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?”

“I loved you. I was a pentapod monster, but I loved you. I was despicable and brutal, and turpid, and everything, mais je t’aimais, je t’aimais! And there were times when I knew how you felt, and it was hell to know it, my little one.”
—Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita (via mariseviolet)
“You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit.”
—The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde (via bloodisthenewblackk)
“Everyone has their weak spot. The one thing that, despite your best efforts, will always bring you to your knees, regardless of how strong you are otherwise.”
— Sarah Dessen (via black-wolves)
bearded kiss
beard and mustache
have been part of me
for so long
and it has been
so long
for other things
that i forgot
how the scratch tickle
feels against soft
inner thigh
until i heard that low
sound in your throat and
your hands were
in my hair
pulling my kisses
higher

—Neil Gaiman, Fragile Things (via matrem)
“Find someone who will tremble for your touch, someone whose fingers are a poem.”
