“Books are love letters (or apologies) passed between us, adding a layer of conversation beyond our spoken words.”

“We'd had a hundred conversations with our eyes, with our senses, with our hands and movements, with not a word spoken.”

“Words have a force far beyond that of ink stains on pages or spoken sounds... Whether written or spoken, language found in forbidden books can warp space-time and tear the fabric of reality.”

“We stand there, neither one of us speaking or moving, for several minutes. There's not a single kiss passed between us, not a single graze of my hand across her skin, not a single word spoken... yet somehow, this is the most intimate moment I've ever shared with anyone.Ever.”

“The fact that we do not speak it but sing it only expresses the fact that our spoken words are inadequate to express what we want to say, that the burden of our song goes far beyond all human words.”

“This is an apology letter to the both of us for how long it took me to let things go.”
