That’s the thing about writers – on one hand everything is sacred to them, but, on the other, nothing really is.
LANG LEAVThat’s the thing about writers – on one hand everything is sacred to them, but, on the other, nothing really is.
LANG LEAVI did not know that it was love until I knew.
LANG LEAVI’m the one having to pander to you. I’m sick of being the one doing all the chasing. I’m not asking you to make me a priority – I know you’ve got a lot going on. But at least meet me halfway.
LANG LEAVYour first love isn’t the first person you give your heart to- it’s the first one who breaks it.
LANG LEAVYou know, missing someone can sometimes be the best thing for a writer.
LANG LEAVOur love story comes to me in waves, in movie stills and long summer afternoons spent under a sky of incessant blue. I still think of your eyes in flashes of color, your hands in a frenetic, feverish blur-your smile a mosaic of light and shadow. I still find myself lost in those moments of abstraction.
LANG LEAVWhen you lose a person, a whole universe goes along with them.
LANG LEAVBut when I look at you, I just know instinctively, that despite the odds against you and although life will always find a way to test you, someday you’ll have everything you want. Your ending will be a happy one.
LANG LEAVI know there is a terrible distance between us. But our bodies are made of stardust, and we are hurtling through space and time, toward the most beautiful collision.
LANG LEAVTo never do the things I’ve done that once had led to my undoing.
LANG LEAVBut if you don’t love my every flaw, then you mustn’t love me- not at all.
LANG LEAVI don’t think all writers are sad, she said. I think it’s the other way around- all sad people write.
LANG LEAVI want you to be happy. I want someone else to know the warmth of your smile, to feel the way I did when I was in your presence.
LANG LEAVYou can create something that is pure genius, but you have to get your timing right.
LANG LEAVOur emotions pull us in different directions. The stronger the emotion, the greater the pull. Feelings are not always practical, nor do they make any logical sense. That’s just the way it goes.
LANG LEAVI know love because I am in love. Because of how long I’ve loved. Because of the man I love.
