“I watch as the branches of the chestnut tree slowly darken and turn black against the sky. the wind drops. the leaves are still. the sun fades and dips beyond the square of the window. the clouds are lit up with gold in the middle; deep dark lines score their edges. I watch the color leave them, watch it leak out in pink and purple, until the whole sky is burning and bruised and finally black. I watch the night come, and the day end. I understand that im saying goodbye. not just to this day itself, but to the world outside. outside. I'm giving up.”

“Ho paura. Paura di cadere e di non riuscire più a fermarmi. Paura di non poter mai fare l'amore con una ragazza. Paura di essere un vigliacco. Paura di essere in trappola. Paura che verremo tutti catturati. Paura che sia il mio stesso fantasma,quello che aspetta ai piedi delle scale. E paura che sia finita:che questo sia tutto quanto rimane della mia vita.”
