"Unless it’s mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it’s a waste of your time. There are too many mediocre things in life; Love shouldn’t be one of them."
"I want to go staggering & flailing my way through the bars and back rooms, through the gleaming hotels & weedy lots of abandoned sunflowers & the parks where dogs are let off their leashes in spite of the signs, where they sniff each other & roll together in the grass, I want to lie down somewhere & suffer for love until it nearly kills me, & then I want to get up again & put on that little black dress & wait for you, yes you, to come over here & get down on your knees & tell me just how fucking good I look."
