• The best stories I have heard were pointless, the best books those whose plot I can never remember, the best individuals those whom I never get anywhere with.

Remember, heaven is filled with those who have this in common: They are forgiven. And they forgive.

• My mouth opened. It happened. Yes, with my head thrown into the sky, I started howling. Arms stretched out next to me, I howled, and everything came out of me. Visions pored up my throat and past voices surrounded me. The sky listened. The city didn't. I didn't care. All I cared about was that I was howling so that I could hear my voice and so I would remember that the boy had intensity and something to offer. I howled, oh, so loud and desperate, telling a world that I was here and I wouldn't lie down.
