Coffee is a lot more than just a drink; it’s something happening. Not as in hip, but like an event, a place to be, but not like a location, but like somewhere within yourself. It gives you time, but not actual hours or minutes, but a chance to be, like be yourself, and have a second cup.

Selected Writings, Gertrude Stein (b. 3 February 1874)

“We’ll never speak again,” I said as we glided down the never-ending slope, the wind in our hair.
“Don’t say that.”
“I just know it. We’ll chitchat. Chitchat, chitchat. That’s all. And the funny thing is, I can live with that.”
“You just rhymed,” he said.
I loved the way he’d flip on me. 
Two hours later, at lunch, I gave myself all the proof I needed that I would never be able to live with that.
Before dessert, while Mafalda was clearing away the plates and while everyone’s attention was focused on a conversation about Jacopone da Todi, I felt a warm, bare foot casually brush mine.

Call Me By Your Name (Andre Aciman) – The “Inside Oliver’s Head” Quote Series

Not only do we have delightfully dramatic Elio (my favourite), Oliver’s quick reply, dismissing Elio’s idea that they are over before they’ve even begun makes my heart ache because although he ended their moment at the berm, although he keeps putting Elio at arm’s length, he gives in every single time. Oliver is so sweetly incapable of staying away.

It is, I believe, too little yielding— certainly too little for the convenience of the world. I cannot forget the follies and vices of other so soon as I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My feelings are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. My temper would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost, is lost forever.”
