one word could change the whole world

Because it is so hard, in any life, to believe in what you can’t fully understand.

At every wedding someone stays home.

I think part of the problem sometimes is that there's so much happening in my books, to whittle it down into a single script is hard.

This is exactly what i wanted, as commitments had never really been my thing. And it wasn't like it was hard, either. The only trick was never giving more than you were willing to lose.

I didn't care if they sang to me. All I wanted was to block out all the human voices as they called me name again and again, pulling me upward into light, to drown.

So you should remember that, when you're thinking about what other people can deal with. Maybe it's not so bad.
