"People don’t like love, they like that flittery flirty feeling. They don’t love love - love is sacrificial, love is ferocious, it’s not emotive. Our culture doesn’t love love, it loves the idea of love. It wants the emotion without paying anything for it. It’s ridiculous."

"I really want to kiss you. I want to put my arms over your shoulders and run my fingers through your hair. I want you to hold me by the waist and pull me close to you. But most of all I want to kiss and bite your neck. And hear your breathing hitch and have you hold me even tighter."
