A man who wants to make a relationship work will move mountains to keep the woman he loves. If he’s not calling you to tell you he loves you and wants you back, it should be only because he’s showing up at your new residence to do it in person. If he’s not doing any of that, he may love you, he may miss you, but ultimately, he’s just not that into you. Stop taking his calls and let him know what it’s like to live without you.

That unqualified truth is that, when I loved her with the love of a man, I loved her simply because I found her irresistible. Once and for all; I knew to my sorrow, often and often, if not always that I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. Once and for all; I loved her because I knew it, and it had no more influence in restraining me than if I had devoutly believed her to be human perfection.

Please allow me to wipe the slate clean. Age has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain was youthful and vigorous as when we were in full bloom. Think of love as a state of grace, not the means to anything, but the alpha and omega. An end in itself.

I just believe in things that were done. And there were so many things done here. Streets and houses and books and big canals and clocks and places with names – things that were used and touched for centuries. And I don’t see how we could ever use them without feeling uncomfortable. Oh, we could change the names, but the old names will still be there. So no matter how we touch Mars, we won’t be able to really touch it. See, that’ll make us angry. We’ll get mad at that and just rip it up. We’ll change it to suit ourselves. And ruin it. Just like how we’ve ruined Earth.

I’m afraid of not having enough time. Not enough time to understand people, how they really are, or to be understood myself. I’m afraid of quick judgments and mistakes that everybody makes. You can’t fix them without time. I’m afraid of seeing snapshots instead of movies.

Have been reading books like crazy, as you can tell.

Hey! I thought you said you don't read a lot of books! :P
> Z
Well, I don't but I do pick up a few reads now and then, and then I become hooked, so I'll start reading more, then I'll get bored, so I stop... thus I don't read a lot, actually, but when I start reading, I literally start on a spree. HAHA. If you get what I mean ;)
A reading spree. I remember the last time I went on a spree like yours, except that I went for 15 hours straight, with no food, water, bath or toilet breaks, just so I could finish War and Peace, Brisingr, and The Big Black Book in that short time.
Let it be said however, that I failed. :(
But at least i finished Brisingr and The Big Black Book...

My reading sprees are like, 1 week straight. HAHA. With breaks in between, of course. I finished 10 books. HAHAHA.
Well, you finished 2 books in 15 hours, that's commendable :)
