“We are powerful because we affect each other's stories, all of us. We are here to impact each other, to knock into each other, to throw each other off balance, sometimes even off track. I've always hated the phrase 'There's a reason for everything.' But here, now, I think even if there's not a reason for everything, there may be a reason for everyone.”

“I've discovered people don't want to be told how to fix their lives or be held accountable. They just want to hear themselves talk and validate their own narcissism.”

“I like thinking that I'd be worth the trouble of something like that. I like thinking that it doesn't need to be fancy to be special. Maybe they'd remember I like fountain soda best or daisies instead of roses. Little things that'd let me know they've been paying attention. I like that. Thinking I'm worth paying attention to. Something ordinary made extraordinary by the person you're sharing it with. That's the sort of date I'd want.”
― B.K. Borison, First-Time Caller

“I don't know what I want for myself. It's all twisted up in the things I think I deserve, then squashed under the things I'm brave enough to reach for. I don't think I've ever thought about any of it long enough to know what I want.”
