I once had a garden filled with flowers that grew only on dark thoughts, but they needed constant attention and one day I decided I had better things to do.

Most people don't know there are angels whose only job is to make sure you don't get too comfortable & fall asleep & miss your life.

I am only strong enough for a life of partial virtue.

Wrapped around my son with only the knowledge of the words of the world & a quiet remembrance of watching before this all began.

If you're right & I'm not, I'm going to be hell to live with, she said. So, you better think about that next time you want to be right.

You're the strangest person I ever met, she said & I said you too & we decided we'd know each other a long time.
