“You deserve better, Keara."I know I deserve better. But my fucked up heart and mind keep telling me that I don't want better. I want Ruly.”

“Today it’s nice to be able to entertain odd thoughts without having to marry them all. Thank God. I can think whatever the hell I want. Entertaining odd thoughts won’t make you crazy. Refusing to entertain odd thoughts won’t make you well.”

“That morning, lying with the woman I loved, a silent promise was formed in my head. I was going to be a better man for her, someone she deserved. No more flying off the handle. No more temper tantrums, or violent outbursts.”

“I want it to be better than okay. You deserve better than okay.”

“When my dad was young he shot marbles. When I was young I played Marble Madness on my Nintendo Entertainment System.”
