“What concerns me now is that my life be a beautiful, powerful, in a word, a complete life of its kind.”
“What kind of beast would turn its life into words?”
“In my case, literature is a kind of revenge. It's something that gives me what real life can't give me - all the adventures, all the suffering. All the experiences I can only live in the imagination, literature completes.”
“My name is Brandt Cross, and my life used to be seven kinds of fucked up.... Now it's eight...”
“...it took me a lifetime of glimpses, but now I see you completely - did I tell you you're beautiful? so kind to animals, children and me...”
“I know this because I understand now what love really feels like. The kind that consumes you. Love holds the power to break you. It holds the power to complete you.”
