“When we die, we will turn into songs, and we will hear each other and remember each other.”
Rob Sheffield, Love is a Mix Tape

“It’s the same with people who say, ‘Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ Even people who say this must realize that the exact opposite is true. What doesn’t kill you maims you, cripples you, leaves you weak, makes you whiny and full of yourself at the same time. The more pain, the more pompous you get. Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you incredibly annoying.”

“I'd shut the whole world down just to tell you”
