1 " You're a bad girl, trying to force me over the edge. ... But you don't have to. I'm already there. I'm already lost in you. "
― Charlotte Stein , Deep Desires
2 " Apart from the obvious psychological problems, he’s the perfect man. "
3 " Girl with a pie, I’ll call it. It’s almost like guy with an axe, if you squint hard enough. "
4 " Someday he’ll actually kiss me, and I’ll turn to dust and blow away. "
5 " He's fucking stone cold deadpan. His pan is so dead he could lay it in a casket and bury it at Bellevue. They made a movie about him once: Dawn of Ivan's Pan. "
6 " I missed the strangest, most exciting event of my life, because I couldn’t believe it was real. "
7 " Wear it for me, the note says, though it’s not the words I’m interested in. The words are a command, of the type men have given me all my life. But the question mark on the end … the question mark is the thing I’m drawn to. I trace it with my fingers, that curve as compelling as the wood he’s worked into such lovely shapes. "
8 " Go to sleep now, Abbie. I’ll go to sleep with you, and dream my blackbird is gone, too. You looked up at me, and it went away. For a little while, I swear, it went away. "
9 " I thought you were wet because that kiss was so intense I wanted to fall right into it and never come back up. Or maybe because I took those sweet little nipples in my mouth, and sucked on them. "
10 " Either way, we wake up tangled together. He’s already kissing me, and I have no problem kissing back. In truth, I kiss him back as though I’ve been starved of him for the last three days, and what I really need is to cram as much of him as possible into my mouth. I kiss his lips, and his jaw, and, when I kiss him in crazy places like behind his ears, he actually laughs for me. "
11 " Better to have rarely loved and hardly lost, than ever to have loved at all. Better to be safe than sorry, better to stay out of the kitchen if you don’t want to get burned "
12 " Oh God – accountability. Is there anything sexier on a man? Actual apologies. I could drown in him, I could. "
