“They drove off into a violet so ultra it broke her heart.”
“exchanged that danger for the relative safety of brutal work”
“love is its desperate state when she saw it […] poorly veiled by his business ventures”
“after she spoke, the smile that followed made the sun look like a fool”
“And yours are like the beginning of the world”
“How exquisitely human was the wish for permanent happiness” (Toni Morrison, Paradise)
