“Do you know when you cross against traffic? You look down the street and see a car coming, but you know you can get across before it gets to you. So even though there’s a DON’T WALK sign, you cross anyway. And there’s always a split second when you turn and see that car coming, and you know that if you don’t continue moving, it will all be over. That’s how I feel a lot of the time. I know I’ll make it across. I always make it across. But the car is always there, and I always stop to watch it coming.”
― David Levithan, Boy Meets Boy

“You’re my best friend, Shmuel,’ he said. ‘My best friend for life.”

“As far as I'm concerned, I came out of the womb spouting cynicism and wishing for rain.”
