“Well, however it happened, you and I both exist now. Whether that’s because of the universe, or science, or God, or something else, it doesn’t matter. We’re here. You’re here. . . .” His voice catches at that part, and I can hear him trying to rein himself in. “Maybe God exists, and maybe he doesn’t, and no one will ever know with absolute certainty. But what I do know is that you exist, Cesar. I thought we were going to lose you, but you’re still here. And I need you to know that your life is just as holy and precious as any god.” Even though I can’t agree, I know he’s not telling me he worships me like a god. He’s saying he sees me as an integral part of his universe. And I can’t help but feel the same way about him. Maybe he is right, in a way. Maybe there is something holy about being completely intertwined with everything and everyone surrounding you.”

“I laughed. 'I have a harder rule to follow.'
He laughed too.
He touched my shoulder—then smiled. 'Bullshit, Ari. You have the
harder rule to follow? Buffalo shit. Coyote shit. All you have to do is
be loyal to the most brilliant guy you’ve ever met—which is like
walking barefoot through the park. I, on the other hand, have to
refrain from kissing the greatest guy in the universe—which is like
walking barefoot on hot coals.”

“i hate the whole 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger' saying. its bullshit.sometimes what doesn't kill you is worse. sometimes what kills you is preferable. sometimes what doesn't kill you messes you up so bad its always a fight to make it through what you're left with. what didn't kill me didn't make me stronger. what didn't kill me made me a victim, but i made me stronger. i made me a survivor.”

“why do you keep trying to punish yourself just because you made a mistake? thats the opposite of what anyone who cares about you would want you to do”

“And as your body begins to feel like a home, your courage grows. It grows bigger than you mother's chastisement in the parking lot after the service the first time you go to church unbound. She asks why you aren't wearing a girdle, why you aren't sucking in the way she taught you thirty years ago, and how dare you come into the house of the Lord that way. Your mother, who complains of women in the church nowadays committing the sin of visible panty lines, reminds you that she raised you better than this.
And you say, 'I'm tired of holding my breath.' Then you promise you won't come to church that way again. And you'll keep your word because you won't go to church again at all.”
