“I used to imagine a boyfriend who could see me, you know? It was more than attention. I wanted to be known. I imagined us parking a car out by the river, hidden by the tall grass, fireflies everywhere, and I could talk and he would listen and nod, his eyes wide in the dark. And the way I imagined it, he would want to listen. He would want to see me. And he’d listen until he knew everything there was to know.” Tiffany laughed at herself. “There were times I imagined it so long, I ran out of things to tell him, and we’d just look at each other. In a way, that was the best part.”
Andrew J. Graff, Raft of Stars

“You have permission to forget it, she’d tell him. Just for a minute, just enjoy your pillow, just rest, let it go. Close your eyes and sail away from troubles on a raft made of stars.”
Andrew J. Graff, Raft of Stars

“Travel is a wonderful alternative to suicide”
Byron Lane, A Star Is Bored

Micah Nemerever
“He remembered the way love had burned through him like a flame under glass, grasping outward, devouring what air it had left before it choked.”
Micah Nemerever, These Violent Delights

Amor Towles
“For kindness begins where necessity ends.”
Amor Towles, The Lincoln Highway
