“When I'm drawing a picture, I feel...quiet inside.”

“I'm taken over by this trunk. I'm practically living inside it. When I read the journals I feel as if I'm there, a hundred years ago. I'm putting together the whole picture and I know everything that happened and wasn't written down - Amal, p. 133”

“For me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don't think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I'm with them.”

“Armchair hater, I wouldn't piss on your coffinBut when I see your picture I draw dicks on it.”

“When I say 'I will be true to you' I am drawing a quiet space beyond the reach of other desires.”

“But I do like churches. The way it feels inside. It feels good when you just sit there, like you're in a forest and everything's really quiet, expect there's still this sound you can't hear.”
