90 - RIP

“The sound of his voice was an overwhelming relief, like remembering the name of a beloved song or returning to a childhood haunt to find it totally unchanged. Did he not fee the same swell of relief? Or was he just better at hiding it?”
― Galt Niederhoffer, The Romantics

“It was understood that they shared the same thresholds--the same inexhaustible appetite for wasting time, for discussing lofty ideas, for dissecting trivial things, for driving to nowhere in particular, for listening to music, for talking about books, for obsessing over pop culture, but mostly for laughing, talking, and simply being together. There was nothing one could say that the other would find too cruel or too kind. And on those rare occasions when they did tire of each other, they needed only go a day without talking before they yearned to reconnect.”
― Galt Niederhoffer, The Romantics

“...now I'm a spent firework; but at least I've been a firework.”
― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas

“I don't think I have some special gift for knowing what's in your heart. I think we both do.”
― Galt Niederhoffer, The Romantics
