“Sometimes I don't think I've done anything to leave my mark in this world. I'm the kind of person the world leaves a mark on.”

“Kurt left in the early morning to walk around Aberdeen in the pale light of dawn. The storm had passed, birds were chirping, and everything in the world seemed more alive.
