elizabetholsson 's review for:
Alone with You in the Ether: A Love Story
by Olivie Blake
→ 5 stars (★★★★★)
i think this is my favourite book of all time.
any attempt to put my thoughts and feelings into words would fall spectacularly short, so i'll just share some of my favourite quotes instead:
“She is in all of his spaces and all of his thoughts. He contemplates formulas and degrees of rationality and they all turn into her. He thinks about time, which has only recently begun, or at least now feels different. He thinks: the Babylonians were wrong; time is made of her.”
“I could study you for a lifetime, carrying all your peculiarities and discretions in the webs of my spidery palms, and still feel empty-handed”
“Can you love my brain even when it is small? When it is malevolent? When it is violent? Can you love it even when it does not love me?”
“So when people say we're alone in the ether?" "Alone in everything. In time and space, in existence, in religion.”
