“In life, perfect pitch is the ability to know someone from the inside out, even better maybe than she knows herself.”
“She looks like someone I want to know, or maybe even be.”
“She's such a goddamn liar maybe she don't know herself anymore.”
“My mom doesn't know what it's like to be less than perfect, how people zoom in on that until it's all they see. Maybe because it weirds them out...or maybe because it makes them feel better about themselves. People do pretty ugly things to make themselves feel better, this I do know.”
“She didn't know how to love, to give herself to someone, to out herself in someone else's keeping and take him into hers. She didn't trust anyone with her heart - or the darker places of her soul.”
“She believed that owning a lots of things made you a better person. She didn't know - possibly didn't want to know - that happiness comes from the inside.”
