me: why is it upset? shouldn't it be downset? gideon: i will file a lawsuit against the dictionaries first thing tomorrow morning. we're going to tear merriam a new asshole and throw webster inside of it.

Why do we even bother? Why do we make ourselves so open to such easy damage? Is it all loneliness? Is it all fear? Or is it just to experience those narcotic moments of belonging with someone else?

There comes a time when the body takes over the life. There comes a time when the body’s urges, the body’s needs, dictate the life. You have no idea you are giving the body the key. But you hand it over. And then it’s in control. You mess with the wiring and the wiring takes charge.

gravity, n. I imagine you saved my life. And then I wonder if I'm just imagining it.

I don’t like it when you use my shampoo, because then your hair smells like me, not you.

We didn't believe in fate, but we believed in serendipity. We felt very lucky.

There is no reason that we should ever be ashamed of our bodies or ashamed of our love.
