“For this is wrong, if anything is wrong: 
not to enlarge the freedom of a love 
with all the inner freedom one can summon. 
We need, in love, to practice only this: 
letting each other go. For holding on 
comes easily; we do not need to learn it.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke, The Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke

“I'm all out of midnight phone calls and flowers sent to your door. I'm out of throwing letters off fire escapes and drawing a cathedral in the sand. I'm out of spray-painting your name on freeway overpasses. I'm low on cute names given between blankets at 9am. I've got no dramatic displays of public affection left. And now everyone else I ever love is going to think me boring. Because I used it all up on you. ”

“There are going to be people who cannot contain all of the love you are capable of giving them within their chests. They will fumble with the enormity of your affection; they will try to cleave at the heart of you, collapse you until you fit into the shapes and the sizes of their needs. They will tell you that you are too much — too intense, too soft, and you must walk away. You must remind yourself that when you do not fit into the contours of their arms, it is not because you are too big, too free, too liberated, it is because they simply were never meant to hold you at all.”
