Unravel Me Quotes

“I count everything. Even numbers, odd numbers, multiples of 10. I count the ticks of the clock i count the tocks of the clock I count the lines between the lines on a sheet of paper. I count the broken beats of my heart I count my pulse and my blinks and the number of tries it takes to inhale enough oxygen for my lungs. I stay like this I stand like this I count like this until the feeling stops. Until the tears stop spilling, until my fists stop shaking, until my heart stops aching. There are never enough numbers.”

“And I do. I do wonder, I think about it all the time. What it would be like to kill myself. Because I never really know, I still can't tell the difference, I'm never quite certain whether or not I'm actually alive. I sit here every single day. Run, I said to myself. Run until your lungs collapse, until the wind whips and snaps at your tattered clothes, until you're a blur that blends into the background. Run, Juliette, run faster, run until your bones break and your shins split and your muscles atrophy and your heart dies because it was always too big for your chest and it beat too fast for too long and you run. Run run run until you can't hear their feet behind you. Run until they drop their fists and their shouts dissolve in the air. Run with your eyes open and your mouth shut and dam the river rushing up behind your eyes. Run, Juliette. Run until you drop dead. Make sure your heart stops before they ever reach you. Before they ever touch you. Run, I said.”

“Loneliness is a strange sort of thing. It creeps up on you, quiet and still, sits by your side in the dark, strokes your hair as you sleep. It wraps itself around your bones,squeezing so tight you almost can’t breathe. It leaves lies in your heart, lies next to you at night, leaches the light out from every corner.It’s a constant companion, clasping your hand only to yank you down when you’re struggling to stand up. You wake up in the morning and wonder who you are. You fail to fall asleep at night and tremble in your skin.”

“I hear Warner laugh. I see him smile. It's the kind of smile that transforms him into someone else entirely, the kind of smile that puts stars in his eyes and a dazzle on his lips and I realize I've never seen him like this before. I've never seen his teeth--so straight, so white, nothing less than perfect. A flawless, flawless exterior for a boy with a black, black heart. It's hard to believe there's blood on the hands of the person I'm staring at. He looks soft and vulnerable--so human. His eyes are squinting from all his grinning and his cheeks are pink form the cold. He has dimples. He's easily the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. And I wish I'd never seen it.”

“We’re running out of time, he said. As if time were the kind of thing you could run out of, as if it were measured into bowls that were handed to us at birth and if we ate too much or too fast or right before jumping into the water then our time would be lost, wasted, already spent. But time is beyond our finite comprehension. It’s endless, it exists outside of us; we cannot run out of it or lose track of it or find a way to hold on to it. Time goes on even when we do not.”

“Per morire non è necessario fare nulla. Possiamo restare nascosti tutta la vita in un armadio sotto le scale e ci troverà comunque, la morte: si presenterà avvolta in un mantello che la rende invisibile e agiterà una bacchetta magica, portandoci via in un lampo quando meno ce lo aspettiamo. Cancellerà ogni traccia della nostra esistenza su questa Terra e lo farà gratuitamente. Non chiederà nulla in cambio. Si inchinerà al nostro funerale e accetterà gli elogi per aver compiuto bene il suo lavoro, poi scomparirà. Vivere è un po' più complicato. C'è una cosa che dobbiamo sempre fare. Respirare. Inspira ed espira: ogni singolo giorno, in ogni ora, minuto e secondo dobbiamo farlo, che ci piaccia o meno. Anche mentre pensiamo di soffocare speranze e sogni, comunque respiriamo. Anche mentre appassiamo e vendiamo la nostra dignità all'uomo nell'angolo, comunque respiriamo. Respiriamo quando abbiamo torto, respiriamo quando abbiamo ragione, respiriamo perfino mentre precipitiamo nel baratro verso una fine prematura. Non si può evitare.”

“I want to be the friend you fall hopelessly in love with. The one you take into your arms and into your bed and into the private world you keep trapped in your head. I want to be that kind of friend, the one who will memorize the things you say as well as the shape of your lips when you say them. I want to know every curve, every freckle, every shiver of you body. " ... "I want to know where to touch you. I want to know how to touch you. I want to know how to convince you to design a smile just for me." ... "I want to be your best friend in the entire world”

“Siamo sinonimi ma non identici. I sinonimi si riconoscono a vicenda come vecchi colleghi, come un gruppo di amici che ha visto insieme il mondo. Si scambiano storie, si abbandonano ai ricordi sulle loro origini e dimenticano che anche se si assomigliano sono molto diversi, e nonostante condividano una serie di attributi, l'uno non potrà mai essere l'altro. Perché una notte tranquilla non è identica a una notte silenziosa, un uomo risoluto non è identico a uno fermo, e una luce brillante non è identica a una sfavillante; il modo in cui si inseriscono nella frase cambia tutto.”

“And he leans in, so carefully. Breathing and not breathing and hearts beating between us and he’s so close, he’s so close and I can’t feel my legs anymore. I can’t feel my fingers or the cold or the emptiness of this room because all I feel is him, everywhere,filling everything and he whispers “Please.” He says “Please don’t shoot me for this.” And he kisses me. His lips are softer than anything I've ever known, soft like a first snowfall, like biting into cotton candy, like melting and floating and being weightless in water. It’s sweet, it’s so effortlessly sweet. And then it changes. “Oh God—” He kisses me again, this time stronger, desperate, like he has to have me, like he’s dying to memorize the feel of my lips against his own. The taste of him is making me crazy; he’s all heat and desire and peppermint and I want more. I've just begun reeling him in, pulling him into me when he breaks away. He’s breathing like he’s lost his mind andhe’s looking at me like something has brokeninside of him, like he’s woken up to find that his nightmares were just that, that they never existed, that it was all just a bad dream that felt far too real but now he’s awake and he’s safe and everything is going to be okay and I’m falling. I’m falling apart and into his heart and I’m a disaster.”
