“Jade is my everything: my wings, my roots, my sky. I am in love with her.And she tried to kill me.Now that is some messed up shit right now.”

“Love is a sliver of sunlight peeking through the darkness; a whisper of hope when all is lost.”

“People can change... no matter where they come from, no matter where they think they ought to go, people can make their own way.”

“ Wasting time is a stupid thing to do in this big ol' ugly world.”

“We cry in our own rooms, remembering a man who will never be here again.The house creaks. Maybe it feels the weight of our grief, maybe the floorboards are buckling because the burden is too heavy.”

“That knowledge humbles me, melts my bones, closes my ears, and makes my teeth rock loosely in their gums. And it also liberates me. I am a big bird winging over high mountains, down into serene valleys. I am ripples of waves on silver seas. I'm a spring leaf trembling in anticipation.”

“My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.”
