"Love is drinking coffee in a warm cafe on a rainy day and remembing wings above the sea."

"Love is a rope stretched between hearts. I walk from one to the other but where I'm happiest is in between."

I don't lie with my tongue but I lie on paper and canvas and the world succumbs to my untruths so that they become truths.

"Love is two blind people sword-fighting, love is a queen on a desert island, love is self-immolation, love is running scared in the dark, love is two people each of whose saliva is poison for the other, love is an empty house, a sunken boat, a crippled dancer. "

"Love is the memory of the scent of the breath of a sleeping girl."

I have yet to meet a man who can quench my thirst. I'm looking for a man as strong as I am, stronger than meat, than liquor, a man brave as a frightened mother, with a heart hard as a tooth. The hearts of men are too easily stolen, they are not vigilant in guarding the gates of their ribs and my thieving fingers can always reach beneath the sternum and snatch it.

Night is a thief's domain and if he's not stealing he'll pass hours under moonbeam, starshine, singing and boasting. Daytime's for dreams, lovemaking among shadows, but night's the country of the robber's heart and he'll always stay awake till dawn.
