“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.”
― James Baldwin

“I wish I didn’t love your stupid ass so much.”
― Santino Hassell, Sutphin Boulevard

“But why me?

Because, idiot, you... are funny and smart and you have a giant heart that you can't even pretend to hide. And you love your friends and your mum, and you held my hand and made me sing when I was so scared I thought I was going to die. I knew you understood, right from the beginning, this thing inside, the stuff in your head that you need to make real. You get that.... And you wear stupid Superman pyjamas without any irony, and your face lights up when you talk about the movies you love.... And... you protect my dwarf. You always have her back. And you have a dimple when you smile that's so cute I almost died the first time I saw it.”
― Melissa Keil, Life in Outer Space

“She wanted to be extraordinary, to possess a savage glitter.”
― Joy Williams
