But then there are the van Goghs and Hemingways and Mozarts, those who feel a hunger so deep, so far down, that greatness lies there too, nestled somewhere within it.

A drop of poison on that gathering snow. That moment in the fairy tale when we know what just happened but the princess doesn’t.

No, Mom. I said fine. It's just your tone. Ah, yes- the tone. The nasty traitor.

Sometimes you build up these walls, you build and you build and you build up these walls and you think they’re so strong, but then someone can come along and tip them over with only his fingers, or the weight of his breath.

I may be nervous, I say. Okay, I'm really glad you said that, because I just went to the back room to put on more deodorant. Sebastian says.

Empathy took the edge off, and the truth is, we need our edge. Our edge is trying to speak to us, and we are too, too good at shutting it up.

It's hard to see clearly when your eyes are squinched tight out of fear.

It makes you realize how basically everything we do comes down to a) mating or b) competing for resources. It’s just like Animal Planet, only we’ve got Cover Girl and Victoria’s Secret instead of colored feathers and fancy markings, and the violence occurs at the Nordstrom’s Half-Yearly Sale.
