I wish we could sometimes love the characters in real life as we love the characters in romances. There are a great many human souls whom we should accept more kindly, and even appreciate more clearly, if we simply thought of them as people in a story
G.K. Chesterton (via suzywire)
NO. We can. We do. This upsets me because I love stories but I love real life just as intensely. I mean, we all have bad days, but why save all your passion for make believe?
