"I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you."
"Passion is the bridge that takes you from pain to change."
"I am my own muse. I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to better."
"At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can."
"Can one invent verbs? I want to tell you one: I sky you, so my wings extend so large to love you without measure."
