I feel like I've swallowed a cloudy sky

Kids' hearts are malleable, but once they gel it's hard to get them back the way they were.

Ever since that happened to me, I haven't been able to give myself to anyone in this world.

A poet might die at twenty-one, a revolutionary or a rock star at twenty four. But after that you assume everything’s going to be all right. you’ve made it past Dead Man’s Curve and you’re out of the tunnel, cruising straight for your destination down a six lane highway whether you want it or not.

I used to think the years would go by in order, that you get older one year at a time. But it's not like that. It happens overnight.

It is not that the meaning cannot be explained. But there are certain meanings that are lost forever the moment they are explained in words.

The Earth, time, concepts, love, life, faith justice, evil - they're all fluid and in transition. They don't stay in one form or in one place forever. The whole universe is like some big FedEx box.
