“Sometimes the best you can do is try not to be one of the bastards”

“You can't always make good choices. Sometimes you have to settle for making a choice you can live with.”

“Sometimes we keep the physical objects until memory is enough”

“So you're all alone. And, for a short while, at least until it sinks in, you can fake anything.”

“They all count, even the wrong turns; they all add more to who you become. Nobody wants to be a one-way street. There are signposts if you cared to look.”

“When you're a child, what you see and hear and comprehend can be sorted into little boxes. Then, as you live and learn, all those boxes open up and become rooms. The more you experience, the bigger those rooms get. If you're lucky enough, there are some people you will love, and who will love you, long enough to see their boxes grow into vast spaces. You'll understand things that had no meaning. You'll find dark corners that only light up for the briefest moments. But when you keep getting lost, you just end up with a pile of boxes.”

“I was the sum of two people, one dead, the other unknown.”
