“Grief lasts longer than sympathy, which is one of the tragedies of the grieving.”
Elizabeth McCracken
tags: grief

“I had never wanted to be one of those girls in love with boys who would not have me. Unrequited love - plain desperate aboveboard boy-chasing - turned you into a salesperson, and what you were selling was something he didn't want, couldn't use, would never miss. Unrequited love was deciding to be useless, and I could never abide uselessness.

Neither could James. He understood. In such situations, you do one of two things - you either walk away and deny yourself, or you do sneaky things to get what you need. You attend weddings, you go for walks. You say, yes. Yes, you're my best friend, too.”
Elizabeth McCracken, The Giant's House

“Books remember all the things you cannot contain.”
