― Rutger Hauer, All Those Moments: Stories of Heroes, Villains, Replicants, and Blade Runners

“I closed my mouth and spoke to you in a hundred silent ways.”
― Rumi

“She is a friend of my mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order.”
― Toni Morrison, Beloved
