Time goes on even when we do not.

I tuck caution into my pocket and hope I can reach for it if I need to.

Torture is not torture when there’s any hope of relief.

I love walking into a bookstore. It's like all my friends are sitting on shelves, waving their pages at me.

I’ve come to believe that the most dangerous man in the world is the one who feels no remorse. The one who never apologizes and therefore seeks no forgiveness. Because in the end it is our emotions that make us weak, not our actions.

And some days I wonder why I insist on keeping myself alive.

I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters.
