If you want me to leave you alone, I will, but sometimes... sometimes you meet somebody and you know that whatever you did before, whatever your life was before, it must have been right... nothing could've been too bad or gone too far wrong because it led you to this person. You're that person. Do you want me to go away?”
― Ethan Hawke, The Hottest State

“Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.”
