"It is funny how you do not miss affection until it is given, but once it is, it can never be enough; you would drown in it if possible."

Libba Bray, The Sweet Far Thing

"You can never really know someone completely. That’s why it’s the most terrifying thing in the world, really—taking someone on faith, hoping they’ll take you on faith too. It’s such a precarious balance, It’s a wonder we do it at all. And yet.."

Libba Bray, The Sweet Far Thing

"We create the illusions we need to go on."
