“unless it comes out of
your soul like a rocket,
unless being still would
drive you to madness or
suicide or murder,

unless the sun inside you is
burning your gut,

it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.
there is no other way.
and there never was.”

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.”
