“Sometimes you've got to be able to listen to yourself and be okay with no one else understanding.”
Christopher Barzak, One For Sorrow

“The terrible thing about love is that it takes away your safety net, your balancing pole. Even the tightrope you walk upon will disappear beneath you, yet love expects you to keep walking anyway, arms outstretched, one foot after the other, on nothing more than air.”
Christopher Barzak, The Love We Share Without Knowing

“Nothing is more real than the masks we make to show each other who we are.”
Christopher Barzak, The Love We Share Without Knowing
