“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”

“Sorry about the blood in your mouth. I wish it was mine.

― Richard Siken, Crush

“There is not always a good guy. Nor is there always a bad one. Most people are somewhere in between.”
