“When you're on a golden sea, you don't need no memory...”

“And that's when I realized, when you're a kid you don't need a costume, you ARE superman.”

“When you don't know where you're going, maybe it wasn't such a bad thing to have more than you need.”

“If you are very lucky, you're allowed to be in certain places during just the right season of your life: by the sea for the summer when you're seven or eight and full of the absolute need to swim until dark and exhaustion close their hands together, cupping you in between.”

“Strong winds buffet the sea oats and tall dune grasses, tossing sand and seabirds where it will, winding my sister's golden hair into sunlit spirals of silk until it becomes the only good memory I have of her -- the only memory I allowed myself to keep.”

“...you all want to be the sea. But you're not the sea, you're just a raindrop.”
