“Just kidding' was exactly what people wrote when they meant every word.”

“The writer probably knows what he meant when he wrote a book, but he should immediately forget what he meant when he's written it.”

“I've been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it, he meant you're gold when you're a kid, like green. When you're a kid everything's new, dawn. It's just when you get used to everything that it's day. Like the way you dig sunsets, Pony. That's gold. Keep that way, it's a good way to be.”

“Besides, the normal people here wouldn’t see it. That was what “different” meant. It’s just another word for lonely.”

“Being childless by choice doesn't mean you hate kids,' wrote Jodi. 'In fact, my friends' children are smart, funny, loving, interesting people who just happen to be kids.”

“I know that," the Kid says smartly. "Some people are just not meant to be together. But that doesn't mean you can't love them.”
