“I'm not lookin' for someone who can save me. Life rafts might keep you afloat but they rarely get you anywhere and I've got places I wanna go.

“Sometimes I have the strangest feeling about you. Especially when you are near me as you are now. It feels as though I had a string tied here under my left rib where my heart is, tightly knotted to you in a similar fashion. And when you go to Ireland, with all that distance between us, I am afraid that this cord will be snapped, and I shall bleed inwardly.” FeelsHeartSometimesFeelingsLeftFashionMy HeartDistanceStringsIrelandTiedCordsRibs Author:Charlotte Bronte
“I have stayed these years in my hovel because of you. I have taught myself languages because of you. I have made my body strong because I thought you might be pleased by a strong body. I have lived my life with only the prayer that some sudden dawn you might glance in my direction. I have not known a moment in years when the sight of you did not send my heart careening against my rib cage. I have not known a night when your visage did not accompany me to sleep. There has not been a morning when you did not flutter behind my waking eyelids.” YearsHeartMadeMomentsBodyMightNightLanguageStrongPrayerSleepBehindsKnownMorningTaughtMy HeartSightDawnWakingGlancesCagesAccompanyRibsEyelidsBecause Of YouRib Cage Author:William Goldman
