“We are not broken things, neither of us. We are cracked pottery mended with laquer and flakes of gold, whole as we are, complete unto each other. Complete and worthy and so very loved.”

“cuando respire, pensaré en ti, porque sin ti hace años que estaría muerto. Cuando me despierte y cuando duerma , cuando alce las manos para defenderme o cuando yazca para morir, tú estarás conmigo. Dices que nacemos una y otra vez. Yo digo que es un río lo que separa a los muertos de los vivos. Lo que sé es que si nacemos de nuevo, te encontraré en esa otra vida, y que si hay un río, me esperaras en la orilla a que llegue a ti, para que podamos cruzarlo juntos.”

“My daddy had told me once that people were gonna give me shit all my life. The monster had told Joe that his family didn't want him anymore. We'd have to live with that, those things that were whispered in our ears. Maybe we'd never be free of those shadows. Not completely.
But we'd still fight like hell.
And maybe that's all that mattered.”

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.”
