"Candy says", The Velvet Underground

Some things ppl have said to me over the past week & that have stuck in my head



"Either way, I love your sadness. It’s the prettiest thing about you. It’s in your mouth, in your eyes".

“We can marry & get the fuck out of this place. We could live in Berlin, but sleep in different beds”.

“Things will change when you really want them to. When you make the decision & you’re 100% sure that’s what you want. It’s all up to you. It’s all over now if you want it to be. Leave it behind, leave it here, NOW. Say it’s over & it’s over. Know that you may fail…& if you do, it’s only bc you’re not 100% convinced & in part -for some reason- you still want to hold on to those things you say you want to get rid of”.

“You could be dead, you know. Me too. Don’t you think we’re alive for a reason, then?”
