"I am all wounds, Susannah, and you are the loveliest pus. Flooding in to heal me. Yellow as the sun."

"Sussanah is golden sunlight, and I am a struggling sapling at best, crippled by heliotropism; she does not need me the way that I need her."

"Susannah was wrong when she said that I like her. I love her."

Could she not just heal onto me? Could we not prevent the sting of leaving?

"It makes perfect sense to want to be inside her mouth, to be torn to pieces by her; until I catch myself wanting it, and I am shocked, I am disgusted."

"It's humiliating to wonder if I have ever meant the same things to her as she does to me"

"And while I could think of a million places that I would rather be, I fear that I will never have the nerve to leave. I fear that Crossmore is too deep in me, and I would not know how to exist elsewhere."

"Yes, perhaps we are all just islands, as wild and merciless as each other, separated by our countless defects. Perhaps there is no remedy for it, and all we can do is learn which parts of ourselves to deny and which parts to bring into the light."

"Sometimes knowing someone for a long time is the only reason you'd be friends with them. It isn't much of a bond, and still it is unbreakable."
