“Remember on the right night and
under the right light
any idea can seem like a good one
and love
love is mostly ill advised but always
brave.”
― Yrsa Daley-Ward, bone

“Hope is a thing I drag out of storage
when I am done thinking; hope answers
my phone; hope breaks my furniture
and helps me rebuild before the next
party; hope turns into more hope
unless it does not in which case
it turns into more or less less
than what I had hoped for; hope
sinks; hope drinks with me and against
me; hope is my ride home; hope is
asleep, I'm asleep, dear god, I can't
stop sleeping.”
― Neil Hilborn, Our Numbered Days

“I have been wondering, mostly, if love and sanity are the same thing. When I say I am in love I am also saying the world makes sense to me right now”
― Neil Hilborn, Our Numbered Days

“Isn't that what everyone wants, just for a moment to be unencumbered?”
― Ann Patchett, Commonwealth
