“The problem with ghosts is that they can never figure out if they’re transients or residents—they don’t quite stick around, and yet they never really leave.”
Colin Dickey, Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“I put my back against the wall. I slide down to the floor. I imagine Ryan sitting next to me. I imagine him rubbing my back, the way he did when my grandfather died. I imagine him saying, "She's going to a better place. She's OK." I imagine the way my grandfather might have done this for my grandmother when she lost her own mom or her own grandmother. I imagine my grandmother sitting where I am now, my grandfather kneeling beside her, telling her all the things I want to be told. Holding her the way that only someone in particular can hold you. When I'm her age, when I'm lying in a hospital bed, ready to die, whom will I be thinking of?

It's Ryan. It's always been Ryan. Just because I can live without him doesn't mean I want to.

And I don't. I don't want to.

I want to hear his voice. The way it is rough but sometimes smooth and almost soulful. I want to see his face, with his stubble from never shaving down to the skin. I want to smell him again. I want to hold the roughness of his hands. I want to feel the way they envelop mine, dwarfing them, making me feel small.

I need my husband.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, After I Do

“You don't need a time machine to change your future or your past. You just need enough faith to make the most of today!”
Jonathan Nettles

Simon Reynolds
“Glamour could be defined as the lie you tell so well you believe it yourself, and make others believe it too.”
Simon Reynolds, Shock and Awe: Glam Rock and Its Legacy, from the Seventies to the Twenty-first Century

Rosalie Knecht
“On a Tuesday I came home from school to an empty house, watched the evening news, and then took Equanil caplets lifted from my mother.”
Rosalie Knecht, Who Is Vera Kelly?
