Is There Anybody Quoting?

"I don't want your concern as some consolation prize."

"I'm a villain in someone else's story, just like someone is in mine."

“My thought process is not linear. I’m a visual thinker. I see my thoughts. I don’t have a photographic memory, and nor is my head a static gallery of sensibly collected think pieces. It’s more that I’ve got this ever-evolving language of hieroglyphics that I’ve developed and can understand fluently and think deeply with, but I struggle to translate. I can’t paint, draw, sculpt, or even haberdash, and as for the written word, I’m ok at it but it’s a tortuous process of translation and I don’t feel it does the job. And as far as speaking my own mind, I’m not great at it. Speech has always felt like an inadequate freeze-frame for the life inside of me. All this to say that I’ve always understood far more than I’ve ever been able to communicate.”

“Get up off your knees, girl. Stand face to face with your God and find out what you are.”

“At your worst, you're still the best, but at my best, I am the worst.”

“Nothing flashed before my eyes. (...) All I saw was the devil's soul and it looked a hell of a lot like my own.”

“Well, consider this. We’re all pretty much visible at this point. Everyone has and curates an audience of sorts. Given this new weird visibility we all have, I think it’s useful to ask ourselves what are we putting out there? What are we emitting from our little control towers? And what effect is that having on those who come in contact with it?”

“First rule [of a relationship]. Stop competing. It’s not a fucking competition. Her success is your success and your success is her success. Stop competing. Number two. There is no equality in a relationship. It’s like, «we equals». No, you’re not. You’re both there to serve. You’re in the service industry, ok? When you’re in a relationship, you’re in a band. And when you’re in a band, you have roles that you play in the band. Sometimes you sing lead and sometimes you’re on tambourine. And if you’re on tambourine, play it right. Play it with a fucking smile ‘cause nobody wants to see a mad tambourine player.”

"People say, «Oh, relationships are tough». No, they not. They're only tough when one person's working on it. That's right. Two people could move a couch real easy. One person can't move it at all."

"If you got somebody you love, hold tight. Commit. Don't be the one that's always threatening to leave, too. That's right. Love hard or get the fuck out."

"I used to take these wings and I'd fly so high."

"They give you one piña colada and you forgive the worst poverty you've ever seen."

"All we've got is guided by this light within. I'll hold us both until the smoke clears."

"Will I change your mind if I could show you my way?"

"This isn't how it's supposed to be."

"Now that it's done I realize the error of my ways. I must venture back to apologize from somewhere far beyond the grave."

"A fire fuelling all my dreams."
