Quotes

"pretty shitty how baseline human activities like singing, dancing and making art got turned into skills instead of being seen as behaviors \ so now it's like 'the point of doing them is to get good at them' and not 'this is a thing humans do, the way birds sing and bees make hives'." (ref)
"We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty, and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to make yourself feel nothing, so as not to feel anything — what a waste!" from Call Me By Your Name by André Aciman

"For what is grief, but love persevering?" from WandaVision
"In romantic relationships, you should always be yourself, because the worst thing that can happen is that something that wasn't going to work out doesn't." from a 2018 lecture by Louis Menand in Humanities 10a (paraphrased)
