By betrayal, I mean promising to be on your side, and then being on somebody else’s.”

“What should I do about the wild and the tame? The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. I want to be held. I don’t want you to come too close.

— Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping
