Quote by Jillian Dodd

“His jaw is tense, and he's angry. But at the same time, he sort of looks hurt. And it feels like it's my fault. But it's not. It's not my fault that his being a jerk this summer caused me to run off to London, change my name, and get close to Augie. But the look in his eyes still kills me. Because it didn't have to be this way. I swallow hard and look away. If I don't, I might start crying.”

“Und ich dachte, ich wäre alt genug, um in so einer Situation angemessen zu reagieren, stattdessen habe ich noch mehr Gewalt gebraucht, unnd warum verschwindet die Wut auch jetzt immer wieder, obwohl ich sie gerne an mich reißen und in mich hineinbetonieren würde. Ich will die Aggression in mich reinpflastern, damit ich nicht, wie damals immer wieder weich werde, wenn du anfängst zu heulen oder ich dich rieche.”

“Lyubimaya (The Sonnet) I am happy - I am happy to see that you are happy. May they give you all the joy, Of which you dreamt with me. I was just a struggling autodidact, yet to be the legend I made myself. How was I supposed to settle down, in the balkans with white picket fence! Partners with infinite patience, only ever exist in fairytales. Yet I feel no grudge whatsoever, as they're happy with their choice. There's a divine bliss in being dumped, at least one is no longer a burden. Purpose of love is to see another happy, not to sentence them to life-imprisonment.”
