“Ivy! It's a natural disaster! You have to be there!”
“i am a limitless series of natural disasters and all of these disasters have been unnaturally repressed.”
“the natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster. strangely enough it all works out in the end... it's a mystery.”
“Ivy could have been a model. Hell, Ivy could be anything she wanted. Except happy. Ivy had issues.”
“I should have known by then that it's never the disasters you see coming that finally come to pass; it's the ones you don't expect at all.”
“And it's like some tiny nothing that sets off a natural disaster halfway across the world, only this was the opposite of disaster, how by accident she saved me with that thoughtless act of grace, and she never knew, and how that, too, is the part of the history of love.”
