• astarion :] (remembered he exists)

you are so young, all still lies ahead of you, and i should like to ask you, as best i can dear, sir, to be patient toward all that is unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are written in a foreign tongue. do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. and the point is to live everything. live the questions now. perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.

• look, we are not unspectacular things. what would happen if we decided to survive more?
• stay close to any sounds that make you glad you are alive. ever since happiness heard your name, it has been running through the streets trying to find you. i wish i could show you when you are lonely or in the darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.

• cement, citizen — meet me by the lake, i'm ripe with severed faith. you wear the only scar. if i'm a saint, then you're heaven, my only, if i'm a waste, then you're golden, my only, if i'm shame, you're bolder than all of me. i'll give you myself, give you myself any day.
