Imagine a world that seemed so much bigger than you. Imagine waking up one morning and finding a piece of yourself you didn't even know existed.

You can be strapped to the most stable chair and still feel the world give way beneath you.

I can give or take elephants; I never can find the cheetah-but the zebras captivate me. They'd be one of the few things that would fit if we were lucky enough to live in a world that's black or white.

I think there are two different oceans - the one that plays with you in the summer, and the one that gets so mad in the winter.

My mother... she is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her.

I remember for that one moment, I believe I was hitch hiking on one of those comets, falling so fast that I'd surely burn away before I ever hit the ground.

Asking me to describe my son is like asking me to hold the ocean in a paper cup
