“The pen is truly mightier than the sword. Unless you're holding a pen and the other guy's holding a sword.”

“In her hometown, she seems like someone else; maybe more like the person she used to be, like the person we all leave behind in our hometowns, the person whose skin we must wrestle into when we come back, like an old suit or a dress we once wore on a special occasion, one we can't quite understand how the passage of time has left the garment as it was, and us so unaware of how we've changed, as we suck in our guts to do up the zipper.”
Dave Besseling, The Liquid Refuses to Ignite
