While it is always possible to wake a person who’s sleeping, no amount of noise will wake a person who is pretending to be asleep Picture Quote #1

Something having been done just about everywhere just about always is no kind of justification for doing it now Picture Quote #1

I did not need to know if he could love me. I needed to know if he could need me Picture Quote #1

Since the world has changed so much, the same values don’t lead to the same choices anymore Picture Quote #1

I wanted to cry but I didn’t, I probably should have cried, I should have drowned us there in the room ending our suffering Picture Quote #1

Imagine being served a plate of sushi. But this plate also holds all of the animals that were killed for your serving of sushi. The plate might have to be five feet across Picture Quote #1

Time was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on. I hope you never have to think about anything as much as I think about you Picture Quote #1

I imagine a line, a white line, painted on the sand and on the ocean, from me to you Picture Quote #1

You are the only one who has understood even a whisper of me, and I will tell you that I am the only person who has understood even a whisper of you Picture Quote #1

I hated myself for going, why couldn’t I be the kind of person who stays? Picture Quote #1

My boots were so heavy that I was glad there was a column beneath us. How could such a lonely person have been living so close to me my whole life? If I had known, I would have gone up to keep him company Picture Quote #1

Everything that’s born has to die, which means our lives are like skyscrapers. The smoke rises at different speeds, but they’re all on fire, and we’re all trapped Picture Quote #1

... the meaning of my thoughts started to float away from me, like leaves that fall from a tree into a river, I was the tree, the world was the river Picture Quote #1

We talked about nothing in particular, but it felt like we were talking about the most important things Picture Quote #1
