“Love is transformative, but it doesn't make sense to wait for romantic love to do the work of happiness for you.”
― Amy Key, Arrangements in Blue

“This is where I was, this is where I am. And then to think towards an imagined future — this is where I now go. It struck me that this type of reflection, this assigning of importance to one's own journey through life, is a kind of love.”
― Amy Key, Arrangements in Blue: Notes on Loving and Living Alone

“When you're a kid, you assume you're just getting a taste for all the memorable experiences life has in store for you, but the truth is, most people don't spend countless nights running through the streets with their friends. They spend a handful of nights doing that if they're lucky.”
― Emily R. Austin, We Could Be Rats

“Perhaps that's why art in all its forms can feel like the purest expression of one soul to another. A means of transcending the boundaried self. It turns out Joni's Blue is the case of wine I can drink and still remain standing. Her Blue pours out of me, not in a way she might recognise or even find at all touching, but it's there, nevertheless. The soul forever pouring from one to another, making something new through art.”
