“If someone asked me “What are the signs of love?” I would have said without hesitation, It’s the familiarity and the removal of cost, And to find yourself not having to lie, and the embarrassment removed between you two, and see yourself acting in your nature without trying to be something else so she likes you, And that you two keep silent and the silence gets delicious, And that one of you two talk and listening gets delicious.”

"God is fucking with my oblivion. If he wants forgiveness, he shouldn't have given us memory."ALT
"what is a god? What is not a god? And what is there in between them?"ALT
Screenshot of a tumblr post by @perdicion with a quote from Ada Limon reading, "She decides God is no good, but he must exist, / he must exist so she can hold him accountable."ALT
"When I'm bent over wishin' it was over / Makin' all variety of vows I'll never keep / I try to remember the wrath of the devil / Was also given him by God"ALT
"My audience is God, / because who the hell else could understand me? / Who else has been dead twice? // The words boil out of me, / coil after coil of sinuous possibility / The cosmos unravels from my mouth, / all fullness, all vacancy."ALT
"Sunday morning / Hands over my knees in a room full of faces / I'm sorry if I sound off, but I was probably wasted (Probably wasted) / And didn't feel so good (Didn't feel so good) / Head full of whiskey but I always deliver / Jesus, if you're listening let me handle my liquor / And Jesus, if you're there / Why do I feel alone in this room with you?"ALT
"BETHANY: What's he like? God? / METATRON: Lonely."ALT
"No one is watching. / So why does it have to be beautiful? / You, in pain, are no closer to god than / You, in the drive thru or / You, checking your email or / You, holding your own hand."ALT
"I choked / on such longing I couldn't spit it out. Yes, desire is different / when God bore you hungry."ALT
"I don't know how God can bear seeing everything at once: the falling bodies, the monuments and burnings, the lovers pacing the floors of how many locked hearts. I want to close my eyes and find a quiet field in fog, a few sheep moving towards a fence."ALT
"I saw Jesus Christ in a bookstore / He looked burdened with all that belief / He cut me in line without remorse / Said we're all powering the same machine"ALT
"Freedom is a length of rope. God wants you to hang yourself with it."ALT
"To suffer. It means God is near. / Grace-like a scalpel without amnesia."ALT
"Tell me, how does God choose? / Whose prayers does He refuse?"ALT
"what do you beg for when you think no one can hear you? what do you beg for when you think god can?"ALT
"Each day, I look in the / mirror for God / and still see my own scrambled image."ALT

"You can never leave home. / You take it with you no matter where you go. Home is between your teeth, under your fingernails, in the hair follicles, in your smile, in the ride of your hips, in the passage of your breasts."ALT
"2. You can always make things more difficult. Draw it out. Make it interesting. Oh, you don't want to follow someone else's blueprints? Oh, you want to create something new? Too bad. We can't all be architects. Some of us were born to lay the bricks. Some of us were born to hide the bodies. You've been building this house since you were born, just like your father. Just like your father, you will not live to see it finished. The house has been a nursery. The house has been a burial site. The house is swallowing bodies before the blood has dried. Your inheritance is a knife's edge. Your inheritance is a culling. When the time comes, even your coffin will be a family heirloom. Come, make sure the measurements are right."ALT
Film still from "BoJack Horseman." In the right corner, an anthropomorphic brown horse sits in the corner of a decrepit house. He wraps his body in a blue blanket and holds a red phone in his hand, watching a video on the device. He has a sad expression on his face. The house around the horse is covered in debris. The wallpaper behind him is peeling. The door is crooked and cannot properly close, allowing a large amount of snow into the house. On the left side of the scene, a family of anthropomorphic horses stand near a piano. The area around them glows slightly to signify that they are from a different time. They wear winter coats and are dressed nicely. The table in front of them has a bowl filled with fresh apples.ALT
"We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it."ALT
"I am almost someone going home."ALT
"But I'm in my car, and I see the yard / The patch of grass where we buried the dog / And the world makes sense behind a chain-link fence / If I could leave, I would've already left / But I'm in my car, and I see the yard / And the patch of grass where we buried the dog / And the world makes sense behind a chain-link fence / If I could leave, I would've already left / I would've already left"ALT
"THE HOUSE DOES NOT JUST COME UP OUT OF THE GROUND, IT HAS ROOTS, BUT NOT THAT KIND, ROOTS TO ITS SURROUNDINGS AND ITS PAST AS ANOTHER FORM. AS WITH OUR SKIN AND OUR DNA IT CAME FROM A PAST THAT WILL ALWAYS BE EMBEDDED INTO IT."ALT
Film still from "The Woman in Black." A young man stands with his back to the camera, facing a house in the distance. The man wears a black trench coat. He rests his hands at his sides. The house is large and covered in fog. There is a mossy gate surrounding it. All of the foliage surrounding the house is green and overgrown.ALT
"This is how spells are broken... / By burning down the dream house / where your childhood keeps repeating itself."ALT
"It is time for me to leave home, yet again, as I have so many times before. // To walk away from the table still hungry. // Empty handed, unseen, unheard. // Not your fault, not mine, just is."ALT
Film still from "Marble Hornets." A small, white house is illuminated in the darkness by two lights above the door. The caption reads: "- Cool, fuck that house, goodbye."ALT
"I’ve dreamed since I was / four years old // the house is slowly on fire / the house is slowly on fire // and I can’t get you to leave it / and I can’t get you to leave it"ALT
"[...] you will go home and then you will find that home is not home anymore. Then you will really be in trouble. As long as you stay here, you can always think: One day I will go home."ALT

"NO ONE IS JUST ONE PERSON, YOU, FOR EXAMPLE, ARE BOTH CAIN AND ABEL"ALT
Film still from "Kill Your Darlings." Allen (left) and Lucien (right) lay side by side on a wooden floor. Allen turns his head to face Lucien while Lucien looks upwards at the ceiling. He holds a cigarette between his fingers. The caption reads: "To be reborn, / you have to die first."ALT
"But an echo of a person is not a person at all and the memory of a memory is a light at the end of a never ending tunnel. / We can never go back to who we once were."ALT
"24. You go on by doing the best you can. You go on by being generous. You go on by being true. You go on by offering comfort to others who can't go on. You go on by allowing the unbearable days to pass and allowing the pleasure in other days. You go on by finding a channel for your love and another for your rage."ALT
"* Despite everything, it's still you."ALT
"AND WITH THIS HAND YOU WILL WAVE IN THE DESPAIR. / IT WILL RUSH IN FROM ALL CORNERS. / IT WILL RUSH IN FROM ALL SIDES, / AND IN THIS UNKEPT BED, IN THIS PILE OF DIRTY BLANKETS / A TERRIBLE STORM RAGES; // TO KILL THE ONLY SELF THAT IS LEFT / TO HAMMER OUT THE DAYS IN A BLIND FURY, / TO BLUR THE REMAINING MOMENTS WITH DRUGS AND BOOZE // AND WITH THIS HAND YOU WILL FORGE A KINDNESS / CAST FROM SOME SMOULDERING METAL, SOME VIOLENT / REACTION, CRAFTED INTO SOME BLACK STEELE BLADE // AND YOU WILL SLASH AND TRASH AND CUT ABOUT / UNTIL THE STORM CLEARS / OUT OF YOUR LIMP BODY"ALT
"LIKE HOW THE SKY IS DARKEST BEFORE THE SUNRISE, / WE'RE ONLY GOING THROUGH OUR LAST GROWING PAINS"ALT
Screenshot of tumblr tags added to the bottom of a post. "#when the world does not leave room for love it doesn't simply disappear #it reshapes itself #into something cruel and monstrous and greedy and desperate and terrible and still. #there is love."ALT
" 'You're gonna carry that weight.' "ALT
"Okay. We had terrible lives. What now? What comes / after the tragedy? / What choice is there but to keep going, despite? / You remember the good times, I know you do. / That beautiful summer we met in. I've lost my / tenderness since then, don't you agree?"ALT
The background image is of the sun in the distance, just above a dark ocean. The sky is a light pink. There are various black rocks in the foreground. The caption reads: "I think I'm going to start another new life"ALT
"I love this world, even in its hard places. / A bird too must love this world, / even in its hard places. / So, even if the effort may come to nothing, / you have to do something."ALT
