“Why should a relationship mean settling down? Wait out for someone who won’t let life escape you, who’ll challenge you and drive you toward your dreams. Someone spontaneous you can get lost in the world with. A relationship, with the right person, is a release not a restriction.”

“I am so busy. I am practicing my new hobby of watching me become someone else. There is so much violence in reconstruction. Every minute is grisly, but I have to participate. I am building what I cannot break.”

It's hard to make something beautiful, it's really worthwhile. If you learn to make something beautiful, even one thing, you've established a relationship with beauty. Then you can start to expand that relationship with beauty in other elements of your life. It's an invitation to the divine, you have to be daring to do that. You're stumbling towards the kingdom of God when you make an aesthetic decision. We live by beauty. We cannot live without it, because life is too dismal without the sublime

“I don’t know what I’m saying. I guess what I mean is that sometimes I don’t know what or who we are. Days I feel like a human being, while other days I feel more like a sound. I touch the world not as myself but as an echo of who I was. Can you hear me yet? Can you read me?”
