― Virginia Woolf, The Waves

“Why is summer mist romantic and autumn mist just sad?”
― Dodie Smith, I Capture the Castle

“I was falling. Falling through time and space and stars and sky and everything in between. I fell for days and weeks and what felt like lifetime across lifetimes. I fell until I forgot I was falling.”
― Jess Rothenberg, The Catastrophic History of You and Me
