“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association.

I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”

“Imagine smiling after a slap in the face. Then think of doing it twenty-four hours a day.”

“Where do you live?"
Adam's mouth was very set. "A place made for leaving"
