“I need it to be a love story. I need it to be that.”
― Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa

“I wonder if you really love me. Do you?” “Yeah.” “Do you think you can say it?” “I will sometime. Not on the bus.” “You don’t mind saying it in a song, why can’t you say it talking?” “A song is different. You’re just singing a song there.” “It’s not hard for people who really mean it to say it.” “It is if somebody’s trying to make you say it. When somebody gets your arm around behind you and wants to make you say ‘calf rope,’ well, you don’t want to say it then.”
― Charles Portis, Norwood

“Time travel is real, Daniel said. We do it all the time. Moment to moment, minute to minute.”
