To love another another human in all of her splendor and imperfect perfection , it is a magnificent task...tremendous and foolish and human.

I knew each person's delusion, the places their records had scratched, where the sounds repeated.

Ravens are the birds I'll miss most when I die. If only the darkness into which we must look were composed of the black light of their limber intelligence. If only we did not have to die at all. Instead, become ravens.

We passed over in a sweep of sorrow that would persist into our small forever. We just keep going.

I am part of what she thinks is her illness, a symptom of which she thinks she has been cured. She, on the other hand, is what I was looking for.

I truly think that you can't go and stalk your material, you have to leave the door open and whatever chooses you, chooses you. You can't go and wrestle it to the ground.
