“That's how I became the damaged party boy who wandered through the wreckage, blood streaming from his nose, asking questions that never required answers. That's how I became the boy who never understood how anything worked. That's how I became the boy who wouldn't save a friend. That's how I became the boy who couldn't love the girl.”

If I could find a real-life place that made me feel like Tiffany’s, then I’d buy some furniture and give the cat a name.”
