“I began to invent something new: a way to hang together without pretending I was whole”

“Where loyalty bound creatures together, they became something larger, something new and whole and inexplicable.”

“I was tired of hanging on, taking the torn pieces to make something whole with them.”

“This whole time, my whole life, that harsh, stony path was leading up to this one point. I followed it blindly, stumbling along the way, scraped and weary, without any idea of where it was leading, without ever realizing that with every step I was approaching the light at the end of a very long, dark tunnel. And now that I've reached it, now that I'm here, I want to catch it in my hand, hold onto it forever to look back on - the point at which my new life really began.”

“I figure all of us misfits should hang together, that way we don’t swing alone…”

“A road trip is a way for the whole family to spend time together and annoy each other in interesting new places.”
