Someone who excites you
Should be told so, and loved, if you can, but no one
Should be able to shake you so much that you wish to

Ich sagte: “Irgendwann.” Ich sagte: “Irgendwann wird Georg alles langweilig. Irgendwann verschwindet er von hier, und dann sitzt du da.”
Tilman hörte nicht auf zu lächeln. “Ich weiß”, sagte er, “aber solange Georg da ist, ist es doch sehr schön, nicht?”
Es klang, als wolle er noch etwas sagen, und ich wartete. Und als ich verstand, dass Tilman nichts mehr sagen würde, war es viel zu spät zu reagieren, Ja zu sagen oder Nein, oder auch nur mit den Schultern zu zucken.Hanna Lemke (2010): Gesichertes.

I hope the next girl to hold your hand just a little tighter than I did realizes how lucky she is to have you.

Where books, quotes, views, and food for thought meet to discuss what gives them pleasure, headaches, or pleasurable headaches. Random things found on the world wide wonderweb and beyond. Pictures so soppy I wouldn't dare show my friends. And all else. Get yourself some coffee and pretend you're in a Victorian coffee house. Read and Discuss. Enjoy a debate (with yourself). Think (if you have to). Be (the impossible imperative).
