Renée’s Quotes

“This was how they wished they had been: each was creating an ideal into which he was now fitting his past life.”

“Sitting up all night would be pointless if somebody you loved wasn't sitting up with you, picking out music to play and helping you kill the bourbon. Walking by yourself in the rain is for college kids who think loneliness makes poets.”
