“The night is mine, my own time, to do with it as I will, as long as I am quiet. As long as I don't move. As long as I lie still. The difference between lie and lay. Lay is always passive.”

“The difference between lie and lay. Lay is always passive. Even men used to say, I'd like to get laid. Though sometimes they said, I'd like to lay her. All this is pure speculation. I don't really know what men used to say. I had only their words for it.”

“Ah, I could lay me down in this long grassAnd close my eyes, and let the quiet windBlow over me”

“I lay in my bed for I don't know how long doing my best to work things out, and my best certainly wasn't good enough.”

“And how long must I stay?Will I lay by your sideJust to say that I'm yoursAnd you'll never be mine”

“It's a lie, you know, to pretend that nothing is important to you. It's hiding. Believe me, I know because I hid for a long time. But now I won't do it anymore. The truth is bioluminescent. I don't lie, and I don't waste time on people who do.”
