“In my limited realm of experience, beginnings led to endings.”

“Our kiss eclipses all others, real, imagine, dreamed of. It is the beginning of time, it is the end of the ages.”

“Change doesn't comewithout invitation.You won't discover it inroutine. And you won't create an all-new and better you if you wait for someone elseto give you permission. Transformation begins - and ends - inside of you.”

“So you want to know all about me. WhoI am.What chance meeting of brush and canvas paintedthe faceyou see? What made me despise the girlin the mirrorenough to transform her,turn her to into a stranger,only not. So you want to hear the whole story. WhyI swervedoff the high road,hard left to nowhere,recklesslyindifferent to those coughing my dust,picked up speed no limits,no top end,just a high velocity rush to madness.”

“This is unstoppable, no holds barred. This is beautiful. Crazy. A beginning. Betrayal. Addictive. Aggressive. Alive. This is something to be afraid of.”

“And the thought of that makes me want to open a vein, experience pain, know I'm alive, despite this living death.”

“You'll only find happy endings in books. Some books.”
