“I don't see how you mortals do it, these feelings you must endure. they will ruin you in the end.”

“I don't want to ruin our friendship and what we have but I cannot for another minute stand in front of you without you knowing exactly how I feel. Because I can't see past you. You are everything to me.”

“Life is only precious because it ends, kid. Take it from a god. You mortals don't know how lucky you are”

“But if you feel better about how you present yourself to the world, how you feel about you, inside and out, I don't see the shallow in that.”

“How the hell do you think I feel?" I don't want to end up inside a woman!" He paused. "Well, at least not that way”

“You say the gentleman I knew has been replaced. How I wish I could offer better comfort than to say that no matter how you have changed, you wil be welcomed when you return. Do what you must. If it helps you to endure, put the feelings away for now, and lock the door. Perhaps someday we'll air them out together.”
