“You are sunlight and I am moonlight. That's what Kim said to Chris.”
Laika Constantino, Hearts On A Page, Volume Two

Dave Eggers
“She spent her idle time conceiving of musicals that would never be. It was the only medium that could properly express our true madness and hypocrisy---our collective ability to sit in a theater watching lunatics sing nonsense while the world outside burns.”
Dave Eggers
