“I was thinking lots of things, but most of them needed to stay thoughts, not words.”

“These are the multiple shadows because there were a lot of things she walked away from without a word of explanation when she was younger & she still thinks about them more than she needs to.”

“Most people think things are not real unless they are spoken, that it's the uttering of something, not the thinking of it, that legitimizes it. I suppose this is why people always want other people to say "I love you." I think just the opposite—that thoughts are realest when thought, that expressing them distorts or dilutes them.”

“I think the things we want most in life, the things we think will set us free, are not the thing we need.”

“Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done.”

“I wanted everything to stay the same, but you wanted things to be better, it's just...going to be a whole lot worse for awhile first. And I think I knew that, and I was scared of it." - Marcus”
