“Everything was beautiful. Not that there was anyone to share it with, anyone to tell. Just the beauty.”

“Don't spit in my hair!"
"Don't get hair in my spit. That's my good saliva.”

“I explain to him that nothing matters, and nothing lasts. Everyone forgets, and everything disappears. The things you do, the things you are; it’s all nothing. Would anyone miss you, if you went away? Would anyone look for you? Would anyone listen, or even care, if I hurt you? If I put my hands around your neck and crushed your windpipe and chopped you up, would anyone find you? And if it’s a no to any of these, did you even exist in the first place?”
― Eliza Clark, Boy Parts
