“Fault! Asperger’s isn’t a fault. It’s a variant. It’s potentially a major advantage. Asperger’s syndrome is associated with organization, focus, innovative thinking, and rational detachment.”

“I’m never gonna wait
that extra twenty minutes
to text you back,
and I’m never gonna play
hard to get
when I know your life
has been hard enough already.
When we all know everyone’s life
has been hard enough already
it’s hard to watch
the game we make of love,
like everyone’s playing checkers
with their scars,
saying checkmate
whenever they get out
without a broken heart.
Just to be clear
I don’t want to get out
without a broken heart.
I intend to leave this life
so shattered
there’s gonna have to be
a thousand separate heavens
for all of my flying parts.”

“[...] perché anche lui, come tanti, nel profondo sapeva che quello che soprattutto fa la persona che ami è occupare spazio, stare al mondo: diventare il tuo spazio e il tuo mondo. E il peggio che ti può capitare, quando ti abitui a vivere in un mondo ridotto ad una persona soltanto, è di pensare di avere abbastanza mondo per essere felice, addirittura diventarlo e così raccontarti che nel resto del mondo, tutto quell'altro mondo che non è lei, non vuoi neanche più andarci; infatti non ci vai, e dopo un po' ti senti persino fiero di aver smesso di frequentarlo, quel mondo così vasto, anche se poi quando viene a girare dalle tue parti o lo vedi dalla finestra ti sale un po' di magone, e te ne torni dentro mordendoti le labbra.”

“Lately I've been thinking about who I want to love, and how I want to love, and why I want to love the way I want to love, and what I need to learn to love that way, and how I need to become to become the kind of love I want to be. And when I break it all down, when I whittle it into a single breath, it essentially comes out like this: before I die, I want to be somebody's favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.”
