“We’re not the Faster-than-the-Speed-of-Light Generation anymore. We’re not even the Next-New-Thing Generation. We’re the Soon-to-Be-Obsolete Kids, and we’ve crowded in here to hide from the future and the past.

She doesn't need to change me - she needs me to change her. At least until her little butterfly wings get strong enough to fly away.”
