“Everything in my life was merely prologue until now, merely delay, merely pastime, merely waste of time until I came to know you.”
― André Aciman, Find Me

“Martin shampooed his hair and wished his life was more like a movie. Everything in a movie completed. Relationships began, they developed and they ended or went on happily forever. All in less than two hours. Life, though was not like a movie, it was ragged, an outdated map with new streets added whose direction you could never quite discern, or a maze filled with suddenly appearing walls and aimless corridors. Even when a movie didn’t have a happy ending, it had a logical ending that you could live with. Life had endings that you didn’t know were endings, or endings that you thought were endings and then they weren’t.”
― Marshall Thornton, My Favorite Uncle

“... better to find out once and for all than to spend the rest of the summer, or my life perhaps, arguing with my body...”
― André Aciman

“one of the hardest things to accept in life is that people love you as much as they can. It’s almost never enough, but it’s all there is.”
― Marshall Thornton, My Favorite Uncle
