I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong.
— Jane Austen (via theselittlewondersstillremain)
IT HAS JUST COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THEY CHANGED THE GREEN SKITTLES FROM LIME TO GREEN APPLE AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS MY WHOLE WORLD HAS CHANGED

— The Plague by Albert Camus
