Mouse was the truest friend I ever had. And if there is such a thing as true evil, he was that too.

The police and I have a deal. I don't talk to them and they don't listen to me.

We are not trapped or locked up in these bones. No, no. We are free to change. And love changes us. And if we can love one another, we can break open the sky.

My father cared about the world he lived in, and so he admitted his confusion about his place in America because he didn't want me to make the same mistake in my life.

Many & most moments go by with us hardly aware of their passage. But love & hate & fear cause time to snag you, to drag you down like a spider's web holding fast to a doomed fly's wings. And when you're caught like that you're aware of every moment & movement & nuance.

I'm just a survivor from the train wreck of the modern world.

My job is writing for people to enjoy and then writing about a broader and a deeper world.
