Stopped Quotes

We were like deaf people trying to dance to a beat we couldn’t hear, long after the music actually stopped Picture Quote #1

When we mated I felt your heart stop beating and it was as if the world had stopped turning. It was only while surrounded by death that I realized I had never felt more alive Picture Quote #1

I think writers just can’t come up with any new words for what we’re doing, because we’re not ‘retro-‘ anything. Like, in ‘Gold and a Pager,’ we’re not talking about what was current - pagers were cool to us, but they never stopped being cool; people just stopped using them Picture Quote #1
