“❝ SOME PEOPLE NEVER CONSIDER THE RAMIFICATIONS OF A LIE. AFTER A WHILE, A LIE CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE AS IF IT WAS NEVER A LIE. YOU’RE FLOATING IN BETWEEN REALITY AND FICTION. THE PROBLEM IS IF YOU KEEP THAT LIE TO YOURSELF, EVENTUALLY IT WILL EAT AT YOU.”

“❝ IF I WAS THE SAME PERSON WHEN OTHERS WEREN’T LOOKING AS I WAS WHEN THEY WERE. I DIDN’T KNOW WHO I WAS WHEN THEY WERE LOOKING. ❞”

“❝ THE THING WAS, YOU EXPERIENCE LIFE AND YOU’RE FORCED TO DEAL WITH IT. LIKE IT OR NOT, IT HAPPENED AND YOU DEAL WITH IT. THAT’S THE DEAL. ❞”

“..the hidden smiles, the stolen glances, we had always loved each other from opposite sides of our own storms. Only the two fronts had collided, one force.”

“I had no idea how fast we were going but i could have sworn on a stack of bibles, I saw Jesus when my face was inches from the wall on the third straightaway”

“Our dirty talking quickly turned to "Do you need a good spanking?" which I enjoyed but when it turned to "Who's your daddy?" I slapped him across the face and told him to shut the hell up and just fuck me”

“What do you mean he drew a dick on the wall...you mean like a man dick...Christ, I swear, the kids are not mine”

“You know those moments, whether you’re in them or not, you feel something more than what you intended to feel, what you wanted to feel.”

“Brown Eyes.”

“Don't have regrets or second thoughts." she told me" Love, love with all your heart,every piece of it.Love anything as much as you can.”

“Tell me a secret Dylan, something you've never told anyone else," I said keeping my eyes on the stars.He don't say anything, his breathing light, body relaxed.Sighing, his breath tickling my shin when he whispered in my ear,"I love you.”

“My mouth tastes like bad decisions.”

“Be alive, be wide awake, be anything but boring.”

“You were made to love me." he said against my lips."Only me.I know. I whispered.”

“Some say a sunset can be too beautiful for words.I'd agree with that.There are a lot of things too beautiful for words for me.To me, it was the earth's way of saving the best for last.”

“I'm done pretending you don't mean anything to me.That you still don't.I loved you.I love you now,here.The bone deep shit that you try to capture in a song or a movies or a book, that kind of shit. It's the type of love that words can't compare to. I still love you. I never stopped. Time apart never changed that for me.”

“I believe that people come into your life and then some go.I also think there's a purpose as to why they were in your life at all.Each one takes a piece of you when they go.Some leave pieces of themselves with you.Sometimes its's wisdom, or maybe,it's a lesson.”

“What would yo do for a piece of forever? What would you do to love more,feel more, and live more?”

“Life is never perfect. Even the strongest crumble and fall to their knees. Even legends say enough is enough. There's also a moment in time, a whisper of hope, a glisten of desire. It's a thread to a tie that brings a husband and wife together again. It's feeling him, it's feeling me, but it's feeling us.”

“Jimi used tell us your life was all about the laps within the race. Some you lead, some you hang back and watch, others your lapped traffic. Then there are the flying laps when life flies and you've made the most ground and accomplished what you set out to do. Then one day the race is over, your laps are done. You're left with the memories of the laps led, as they were what matter most in the setting time.”

“The thing about fairy tales was having faith in the things that don't come true, and appreciating them when they do.”

“I began to understand that my life was measured in moments. There were moments that tested you, challenged you, and moments that could make you fall to your knees, begging for one more moment but you see, those moments defined you as a person. You need to take them as they come because before you know it, you're out of moments.”

“I had a plan for tonight and nothing was going to change that. My mom asked me where that boy was that was so tenaciously determined. Well, I found him. More tenacious and more determined than ever.”

“What made them love you now when they didn’t before?I’ll tell you why. You had the balls to do what they never did. You got inside the car and pushed yourself to be the best. You did that. No one else did.What they don’t understand is that there will always be confessions that bared no sound and lived inside my head, my heart, and were my own desire. They were my own aspirations and something they never took the time to discover.I race for me. It’s not selfish. It’s me being me.I do it because that’s what I am and what is embedded into every fiber of my being.I race for the adrenaline, the power, the rumbling in my chest when behind the wheel. The sense of belonging in a sport that’s quick to prove you’re nothing but still, I race for me. That is what defined me.”

“You’re acting like a child!” was one brave reporter’s response when I denied his interview. Was I acting like child?No, I didn’t think I was. They didn’t understand any of this if they thought that.You know, sometimes I wanted to take their hands and place the truth in it. I wanted to give them everything I had. Sometimes I wanted to act like they treated me and show them how childish I could be. I wanted to give them the weight of everything I felt and let them be the goddamn judge of this shit.Sometimes I wanted to vent, scream, and give it all away. Here, you take my talent. Take my life you feel the need to criticize every moment of the day. Take everything I have and you deal with the shit. You see what you can make of it since you seem to think I’m doing so badly. I wanted them to feel the pressure, the inadequateness, the letdown, all of it.”

“I knew one thing, this pit lizard was going to have a good time tonight!”
