You're beautiful, but you're somewhere else. That's okay. I can handle that. But we won't continue as friends, not just now. I like you as a lover, not a friend.

Luke Davies

Louise Penny

Sleep till the end, true soul and sweet Nothing comes to thee new or strange. Sleep full of rest from head to feet Lie still, dry dust, secure of change.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Are we fallen angels who didn't want to believe that nothing is nothing and so were born to lose our loved ones and dear friends one by one and finally our own life, to see it proved?

Jack Kerouac

Dear as remember'd kisses after death, And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feign'd On lips that are for others deep as love, Deep as first love, and wild with all regret. Oh death in life, the days that are no more.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson
