She waved me off, pulling a measuring tape from her bag. “Don’t be silly, I’m not creating anything from scratch. Just getting a look at you so I can make the proper alterations. Strip, please.”
I blinked. “I —“
“Nothing I haven’t seen before, cookie. Now, your clothes. Take ‘em off.” Reluctantly, I started unbuttoning my shirt and she sighed. “It’s not a bloody strip show, love, off with it. You’re not the only appointment I have today.”
“Right. Sorry,” I muttered, peeling off my shirt, followed by my jeans. Leonie paused, looking me over. “Well, you’ve got a nice body under that baggy flannel, haven’t you?”
“I thought you said it wasn’t a strip show.”
She smiled innocently, standing in front of me. “Arms out.”

"Of all that is written I love only that which one writes with his blood.
Whoever writes in blood and proverbs does not want to be read, but to be learned by heart.
In the mountains the shortest way is from peak to peak, but for that one must have long legs. Proverbs should be peaks, and those who are addressed should be great and tall."

"It is distinguishing to have many virtues, but it is a hard lot. And many went into the desert and killed themselves because they were weary of being the battle and battlefield of virtues. My brother, are war and battle evil? But this evil is necessary, envy and mistrust and slander among your virtues are necessary.
Look, how each of your virtues is greedy for the highest. It wants your entire spirit, to be its herald; it wants your entire strength in rage, hatred and love.
Each virtue is jealous of the other, and jealousy is a terrible thing. Even virtues can perish of jealousy.
Whoever is ringed by the flame of jealousy in the end will turn his poisonous stinger upon himself, like the scorpion. Oh my brother, have you never seen a virtue slander and stab itself?
Human being is something that must be overcome, and therefore you should love your virtues – for of them you will perish."

It always happens when nuts fall in love with each other, then no matter what hell they create for each other they remain together.
Belki de mesaj yazmayarak bana hayatımın geri kalanını hediye etmişti. Saç kurutma makinesini bıraktım ve saate baktım: Yediyi çeyrek geçiyor. Dışarıda hafif rüzgar ağaçlardaki yaprakları havalandırıyordu ve trafik yoğunlaşmaya başlamıştı. Yaşanacak çok fazla şey vardı, benim için en doğru olamayacak insanlarla geçirecek zaman yoktu.

"A forest, then. Beautiful trees. And a lady singing.
Love on the water, love underwater, lovei love and so on.
What a sweet lady. Sing lady, sing! Of course, she wakes the dragon.
Love always wakes the dragon and suddenly
flames everywhere."

"The radio aches a little tune that tells the story of what the night
is thinking. It's thinking of love.
It's thinking of stabbing us to death
and leaving our bodies in a dumbster."

These, our bodies, possessed by light.
Tell me we'll never get used to it."

O mesajdaki “haha” kendi jenerasyonunun işleri ciddiye bindirmeme şekliydi, biliyorum ama konu şu: “Fazla ciddi olmayan” ilişkimizde, beni her yönümle tanımasına izin vermiştim, kusurlarımı sergilemiştim, normalde böyle davranmazdım. Onunla birlikteyken kendim oluyordum ve bu bir tür aydınlanma sağladı. Aynı zamanda bir ikilemdi. Çünkü görünüşe göre ciddi bir aşk ararken, sadece geleceği düşünürken gerçek ben olamıyordum. Karşımızdaki kişiyi kazanmak için en mükemmel halimizi ortaya koymamız gerektiğini düşünüyoruz.
