The reason I am still sitting at Josef's kitchen table is the same reason traffic slows after a car wreck- you want to see the damage; you can't let yourself pass without that mental snapshot. We are drawn to horror even as we recoil from it.

I imagine the touch of someone who loves you so much, he cannot bear to watch you sleep; and so you wake up with his hand on your heart.

We dont have to accept each others beliefs..but we do have to accept each others right to believe them.

You’ll tell yourself anything you have to, to pretend that you’re still the one in control.

Embarrassment isn't a just cause of action.
