    Courtney Peppernell
    “I tried to stop loving you
    so I built walls around my heart
    and found other names
    to whisper in the night.
    But you carved yourself into my veins
    whether you meant to or not.
    And sometimes I wonder
    if you remember the way we looked at each other
    or maybe you just forgot.”
    Courtney Peppernell, Pillow Thoughts

    “But the thing with a best friend is that you’re never talking about nothing. Even when you’re talking about nothing, it’s something. The times when you think you’re talking about nothing, you’re actually talking about how you have someone with whom you can talk about nothing, and it’s fine.”
    Jeff Zentner, Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee

    “I still have a last-day-of-sixth-grade feeling. All year you’re excited for school to end so you can move on to junior high, but then the day comes and you realize that something that was an important part of your life is dying. And endings are still so new that you don’t know quite how to feel. You find an excuse not to run out the door when the bell rings and school’s out. You talk to your teacher one last time. You use the restroom one last time. You take a circuitous route back to your classroom. On your way out, you look back and sigh, and you experience this deep wishfulness, and you wonder if life is just a series of endings. New beginnings don’t make endings any easier.”
    Jeff Zentner, Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee

    “Finally, I say, “I’ve had boyfriends who liked to go to the bookstore, but mostly so they could pretend to be smarter than me and brag about all the Kurt Vonnegut and Charles Bukowski they’ve read.” “Who and who?” “You can’t imagine what a relief that question is.” “No guy who tries to make you feel dumb deserves you.”

    “Everything ends. Some things last longer than others, but everything end. Childhood feels like it takes forever when you're in the midst of it, but one day you wake up and you're eighteen and going to college. The basset hound puppy with the bow around his neck? You're going to see his whole life pass. You may find someone you love and get married. And it might last a long time, but it ends one way or another. Maybe you'll be together for fifty or sixty years, but one of you is going to get left behind.I'm glad things end, though. It forces you to love them ferociously while you have them. There's nothing worth having that doesn't die.”
    Jeff Zentner, Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee
