“Every single morning I wake with a bang,' he said. 'It's as though the fact that I am alive is injected into me; I am a character in a fairytale, bursting with life.”

“I am disappointed every morning that I wake up. And I am disappointed by the feeling Of waking up next to you.”

“I am not a morning person. Never have been - never want to be. As a matter of fact, I am vaguely distrustful of people who bound out of bed early like demented puppies. It's barbaric to wake up before 9:00 a.m.”

“I don't want to die, but I wish waking up every morning didn't feel like such a fuck-you every single time.”

“It isn't the height that scares me - the height makes me feel alive with energy, every organ and vessel and muscle in my body singing at the same pitch.Then I realize what it is. It's him. Something about him makes me feel like I am about to fall. Or turn to liquid. Or burst into flames.”

“I am deficient in character, and if I had more of it, I would be ashamed of the fact.”
