It's peculiar what you remember when you're not trying.

It was the kind of love you can only feel toward someone you don't actually know.

If rain is God crying, I think God is drunk and his girlfriend just slept with Zeus.

People who are wrong during particularly important moments inevitably spend the rest of their lives trying to explain how their wrongness was paradoxically correct, or-at the very least-why their wrongness felt right at the time, which is very, very different from being authentically correct.
