“I am not strange. I am just not normal.”
“Like King Midas, I am left with nothingbut this unreasonable hopethat, somehow, my strange lifeand my lost familywill returnto normal. ”
“...right now, right now, I am strange. It is strange. This life is strange. For now, only for now, I am happy.”
“I am infinitely strange to myself.”
“This pain, this dying, this is just normal. This is how life is. In fact, I realize, there never was an earthquake. Life is just this way, broken, and I am crazy for dreaming of something else.”
“I will not let the non-knitters of the world decide how normal I am.”
