“You're the beginning,
You're the ending,
You're the one who rides the waves of my emotions,
One who makes me compassionate,
One who's the light of my dark self,
I'll be the one always testing your patience,
I'll be the one always annoying you,
I'll be the one always hurting you,
Why?
Because I know you'll always be there to bear the jokes I crack,
To tolerate my inside chaos,
To see my vulnerable self,
To misinterpreting your actions & intentions,
I'll always be hardcore to deal with,
Taking you over the edge,
Because that's what I only know.”
― Hankering for Tranquility

“Of course Crake wasn’t Crake yet, at that time: his name was Glenn. Why did it have two n’s instead of the usual spelling? “My dad liked music,” was Crake’s explanation, once Jimmy got around to asking him about it, which had taken a while. “He named me after a dead pianist, some boy genius with two n’s.”
