“I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.”

“If you don't do anything, you simply end up overwhelmed by something happening.”

“The past is not a place I like to visit. This project is forcing me to go there, to tidy up my thoughts. I'm not normally a navel-gazer. I've always thought you find yourself in other people. I'm visiting here. I don't want to set up house.”

“So we've pulled the chute, and we're drifting, riding the sky. It's just you and me. You can hear me now that we're falling like this, remember? I tell you that I don't want this to end. I don't want to land and reach the real world, because I like our world up here better.”

“People who say they don't have time to read simply don't want to.”

“I don't want you to hate me. You have every reason to, I know. But I don't want that to be the end of our story.”
