“...I retreat into my fictional world where everything makes sense - but even there I can't even control what people do...”
“We can't control what people do or say, even if it's dumb.”
“Even when I didn't know anything else about where I was or what I was supposed to be doing. You were my Wayward, even then. Everything always brought me back to you. Everything.”
“I can't think of a case where poems changed the world, but what they do is they change people's understanding of what's going on in the world.”
“I can't live where I want to, I can't go where I want to go, I can't do what I want to, I can't even say what I want to. I decided I was a very stupid fool not to at least paint as I wanted to.”
“There's nothing that says you can't change." "Not even if it changes everything else?" I shook my head. "Not even then.”
