    Carolee Dean
    “I'm Writing my stoy. But i'm also plotting my escape from this prison cell.

    This is my plan.
    I will do it with words.
    I will write them by day.
    I will write them by night.
    I will write them on the walls,
    the stalls, the halls.
    I will write them in big bold ink
    on posters i hang on the concrete blocks.
    I will write them on little pieces of paper
    I stuff on the mattress and the pillow.
    I will write them with fingers
    bent and cramped from use.
    I will write them in blood
    if i have to,
    but only my own.
    And i will keep writing them,
    again, and again, and again,
    until i fill this prison cell so full of words,
    that the bars bend and buckle and burst
    because they cannot contain them
    And then
    I will
    be free.”
    Carolee Dean, Take Me There

    it was my destiny to love and say goodbye.”

    “Dylan -
    People luk at me and wok akros the street
    So tired of the suspishus eyes
    On all the faces that i meet
    And tell me, if i try
    To be a diferent guy,
    Will you be the girl
    To rearrange my wirld?
    You take me up,
    You take me down,
    Take me to the sky,
    Take me to the ground,
    I'd go anywhere
    If you would only take me there.”

    “To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time.”

    “I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.”
    John Green, Looking for Alaska

    Melina Marchetta
    “My father took one hundred and thirty-two minutes to die.

    I counted.

    It happened on the Jellicoe Road. The prettiest road I’d ever seen, where trees made breezy canopies like a tunnel to Shangri-La. We were going to the ocean, hundreds of miles away, because I wanted to see the ocean and my father said that it was about time the four of us made that journey. I remember asking, 'What’s the difference between a trip and a journey?' and my father said, 'Narnie, my love, when we get there, you’ll understand,' and that was the last thing he ever said.”
    Melina Marchetta, On the Jellicoe Road
