“I couldn't live where there were no trees--something vital in me would starve.”
“Hello, dinner. It’s me, I’m starving. And I know where you live.”
“Here was a place where real things were going on. Here was a scene of vital action. Here was a place where anything might happen. Here was a place where something would certainly happen.”
“If love were food, I would have starved on the bones you gave me”
“I watched that plant in the office every day.Watered it; misted it. I loved thinking about it like G.T. said, but part of me was worried the tree surgery wouldn't take. Something would go wrong and then I"d be stuck with a metaphor that couldn't go the distance.”
“You left me. You made a pet out of me, and then you left me. If love were food, I would have starved on the bones you gave me.”
