Was it like this when you fell in love, stood on the train tracks, went to a country where no one spoke... Alice Hoffman
Do you need someone to talk to?" she said gently. "Oh. Thank you. No, no, I'm fine." He touched his face? he'd been crying harder than he'd realized. "You sure? You don't look fine." "No, really. I've just . . . I've just had a very intense emotional experience." He held out one of his iPod headphones, as if that would explain it. "On here." "You're crying about music?" The woman looked at him as if he were some kind of pervert. "Well," said Duncan. "I'm not crying about it. I'm not sure... Nick Hornby

I think I would rather be a man than a god. We don’t need anyone to believe in us. We just keep going anyhow. It’s what we do. Neil Gaiman
On my license, it says I'm an organ donor, but the truth is I'd consider being an organ martyr. I'm sure I'm worth a lot more dead than alive - the sum of the parts equal more than the whole. I wonder who might wind up walking around with my liver, my lungs, even my eyeballs. I wonder what poor asshole would get stuck with whatever it is in me that passes for a heart. Jodi Picoult
Victor Hugo quote: "You would have imagined her at one moment a maniac, at another..."
