“I have never met a heavy heart that wasn’t a phone booth with a red cape inside
Some people will never understand the kind of superpower it takes for some people to just walk outside
Some days I know my smile looks like the gutter of a falling house
But my hands are always holding tight to the ripchord of believing”
― Andrea Gibson

“And I say,
I crash in to things in the dark
Even when the lights are on
And I am wrong more often than I am writing
And even then, I am often wrong
But when my friends are in the bathroom at the bar
Rolling dollar bills in to telescopes,
Claiming they can see God,
I will come to you”
― Andrea Gibson, How It Ends

“I wanna know what you see
when you look in the mirror

on a day you’re feeling good.

I wanna know what you see
when you look in the mirror

on a day you’re feeling bad.


I wanna know the first person
who taught you your beauty

could ever be reflected
on a lousy piece of glass.”
― Andrea Gibson

“How very scared I was of everything, and in the end how very scared I was of her. This woman I knew, and did not know, and loved.”
― James Christie
