“The stupid things you say in the rain, that can't ever be washed away.”

“This was the life I was going to be living, everybody separated from everybody else, hanging on for a moment, only to be washed away. I could grow up and drift away too.”

“These people picked you up and played with you and then left you lying in the rain”

“Nobody ever complained? Girls were kind. No one ever told him, I could barely stay awake. If only you'd come faster, I could have ignored it altogether. Girls were born knowing how destructive the truth could be. They learned to hold it in, tamp it down, like gunpowder in an old fashioned gun. Then it exploded in your face, on a November day in the rain.”

“Don't attach yourself to anyone who shows you the least bit of attention because you're lonely. Lonliness is the human condition. No one is ever going to fill that space. The best thing you can do it know yourself... know what you want.”

“If only we could be back there right now, a soft rain falling, in the cabin, the woodstove.”

“God gave you everything just to take it away. Just so you knew exactly what you were missing.”
