"I touched my lips to hers again, and this time, it was a very different sort of kiss. It was six yearsâ€™ worth of kissing, her lips coming to life under mine, tasting of orange and of desire. Her fingers ran through my sideburns and into my hair before linking around my neck, alive and cool on my warm skin. I was wild and tame and pulled into shreds and crushed into being all at once. For once in my human life, my mind didnâ€™t wander to compose a song lyric or store the moment for later reflection. For once in my life, I was here and nowhere else. -Sam"

Because they made me want to believe.”
“Lust, that state commonly known as 'being in love,' is a kind of madness. It is a distortion of reality so remarkable that it should, by rights, enable most of us to understand the other forms of lunacy with the sympathy of fellow-sufferers. But, paradoxically, mad and suffering as one is, and the heat of the flame, few of us are glad as we feel that passion slip away No, while most people have been at their unhappiest when in love, it is nevertheless the state the human being yearns for above all.”
“The darker the walls,the brighter the sky outside.”
