“I want him to be happy. And I want you to be happy, too. Even if you can only find that happiness without me.”

It felt better, somehow, to be helpless.”

“Men always say I LOVE YOU as a QUESTION”

“I am sliding, down,down. Toward blackness, I must not sleep. I must not sleep.I.Must.Not.Sleep.”

“I couldn't imagine how i would get from here to there. i couldn't imagine living through a whole string of identical days.”
