“There are books full of great writing that don't have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story... don't be like the book-snobs who won't do that. Read sometimes for the words--the language.

― John Lennon

“Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living.”

“We are just two people. Not that much separates us. Not nearly as much as I'd thought.”
