But you have to satisfy the monster. The monster has loved you for longer than anyone else.
(Florence Welch, Useless Magic: Lyrics & Poetry)


I've noticed before that if you go too long without anyone seeing you, it's really easy to start wondering if you're really there. 
(Maggie Mitchel, Pretty Is)


My heart is a cathedral. Widows, ghosts and lovers sit and sing in the dark, arched marrow of me. 
(Segovia Amil)


I've lived through entire tragedies in silence. 
(Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Meek One)
