This is going to hurt, but you will have to watch other couples be happier, richer and louder than you. Wait. No obstacle can withstand patience. Wait. You may not think so now, but there...

Perhaps a creature of so much ingenuity and deep memory is almost bound to grow alienated from his world, his fellows, and the objects around him. He suffers from a nostalgia for which there is...

It is necessary – and toward this point our development will move, little by little – that nothing alien happen to us, but only what has long been our own.

Trees’re always a relief, after people.

Tonight sucks. And look at me. Look at – look at stupid Buffy. Too dumb for college, and-and-and freak Buffy, too strong for construction work. And-and my job at the magic shop? I was bored...
