“There are only two things: love, all sorts of love, with pretty girls, and the music of New Orleans or Duke Ellington. Everything else ought to go, because everything else is ugly. ”
“The only thing pretty about me is this godforsaken face. Everything else is rotted and ugly.”
“There are only two emotions. Love and fear.... Love and fear is all there is == Everything else is just an offshoot motivated by those two.”
“A boy admiring a pretty girl. A rare thing to be certain. But love—true love—is something else.”
“Love was above everything else, and there was no hatred in love, only the occasional mistake.”
“I love music because it's so fecking brilliant. Music is math, and math is the structure of everything and pretty much perfect.”
