Julianna Baggott
Love is a luxury. It's something that people are allowed to indulge in when they're not simply trying to survive and keep other people alive.
Julianna Baggott
The poem has to bear the weight with image, language... the screenplay with dialogue, plot.
Julianna Baggott
But there it is: Everyone is alone, for life, and maybe that's not such a bad thing.
