Who are you? the band sang. I tried to remember but I really couldn't say.
Janet Fitch
It's not that he was going nowhere, it's that he'd already arrived.

Remember...we don't see objects, we see light. [...] Light can do anything water can do--flow, wash, trickle. It can do anything an artist can do--paint, burnish, carve. Candlelight falls, licks a face. There is always light in a room.

Isn't it funny.I'm enjoying my hatred so much more than i ever enjoyed love. Love is temperamental. Tiring. It makes demands. Love uses you, changes its mind.

That kind of tenderness couldn't be permitted to last. You only got a taste, enough to know what perfection meant, and then you paid for it the rest of your life. Like the guy chained to a rock, who stole fire. The gods made an eagle eat his liver for all eternity. You paid for every second of beauty you managed to steal.
Janet Fitch
Never apologize. Never explain.
Janet Fitch
You can't shape me anymore. I am the uncontrolled element, the random act. I am forward movement in time. You think you can see me? Then tell me, who am I? You don't know.
Janet Fitch
We have no home, she told me. I am your home.
Janet Fitch
What can she possibly teach you, twenty seven names for tears?
Janet Fitch
I wish my life could be like that, knotted up so that even if something broke, the whole thing wouldn't come apart.
Janet Fitch
It was only natural to want to destroy something you could never have.
Janet Fitch
It's all I ever really wanted, that revelation. The possibility of fixed stars.
Janet Fitch
To know I was beautiful in his eyes made me beautiful.
Janet Fitch
Women always put men first. That's how everything got so screwed up.
