"The truth has become an insult." — Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

"This was love: a string of coincidences that gathered significance and became miracles"

"Is love this misguided need to have you beside me most of the time? Is love this safety I feel in our silences? Is it this belonging, this completeness?"

"There are some things that are so unforgivable that they make other things easily forgivable."
