And what if I never go of my own free will? Will you pitch me from some window so that I must fly or fall? Will you bolt all shutters after me? You had better, because I'll knock and knock and knock until I fall down dead. I'll have no wings that take me away from you.

When I realized that Reuben was a young man who really wanted to be taken seriously, because he was dismissed for being too good looking or because he had too much money - his character really came to life for me. I began to understand that, and see that a lot of people feel this way - misunderstood because of their talents or gifts or background.

For always in her there was a dark place full of despair and a great dividing force to make meaning because there was none.
Anne Rice

A singer can shatter glass with the proper high note, he said, but the simplest way to break glass is simply to drop it on the floor.
