“To love someone is firstly to confess: I'm prepared to be devastated by you.”

“He came out of nothingness, took form, was loved, was always bound to return to nothingness.”

“One feels such love for the little ones, such anticipation that all that is lovely in life will be known by them, such fondness for that set of attributes manifested uniquely in each: mannerisms of bravado, of vulnerability, habits of speech and mispronouncement and so forth; the smell of the hair and head, the feel of the tiny hand in yours—and then the little one is gone! Taken! One is thunderstruck that such a brutal violation has occurred in what had previously seemed a benevolent world. From nothingness, there arose great love; now, its source nullified, that love, searching and sick, converts to the most abysmal suffering imaginable.”

“The two years between them was nothing. They squabbled over the same dolls, competed for the same Oreos, memorized the same cartoon openings. Calla was his equal - why was she in charge, exactly? And the things they squabbled over, Christ, it could be a stick. Anything Calla had claimed, Dre took an interest in. Like she made things have value when she touched them.”

“Up until now, I thought I knew what was and wasn't possible. Maybe that's what innocence is, having no way to predict the pain of the future. When something happens that eclipses the imaginable, it changes a person. It's like the difference between a raw egg and a scrambled egg. It's the same thing, but it's not the same at all. That's the best way I can put it. I look in the mirror and I know it's me, but I can't quite recognize myself.”
