"Where had I been that I didn't know about imaginary friends? I could see the point of it. How a lost part of yourself steps out and reminds you who you could be with a little work."

“It is the peculiar nature of the world to go on spinning no matter what sort of heartbreak is happening.”

“In a weird way I must have loved my little collection of hurts and wounds. They provided me with some real nice sympathy, with the feeling I was exceptional.”

“It was the oldest sound there was. Souls flying away.”

“And I was struck all at once how life was out there going through its regular courses, and I was suspended, waiting, caught in a terrible crevice between living my life and not living it.”

“Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can’t remember who we are or why we’re here.”

“People who think dying is the worst thing don't know a thing about life.”
