“I know absolutely nothing about where I'm going. I'm fine with that. I'm happy about it. Before, I had nothing. I had no life, no friends, and no family really, and I didn't really care. I had nothing, and nothing to lose, and then I knew loss. What I cared about was gone; it was all lost. Now I have everything to gain; everything is a clean slate. It's all blank pages waiting to be written on. It's all about going forward. It's all about uncertainty and possibilities.”
Gregory Galloway, As Simple as Snow
“It seems like it’s all just remembering and forgetting. Things happen so fast, and then they’re gone before you notice them. Events ambush you from out of nowhere, blindside you, and then you have to spend the time afterward trying to remember or forget what the hell it all was to begin with. The more you think about it, the more the events crumble, crack, breakdown, or refuse to change at all. They’re either pieces of ice in your hand, changing shape and melting away until they’re nothing like what they were to begin with, or pieces of glass. Sharp and irritating, unchanging reminders of pain and unpleasantness - or happiness.”
Gregory Galloway, As Simple as Snow

“My mother is a big fan of precision, and tries her best to maintain it. Unfortunately, her own incompetence gets in the way. Dinner is served, except when a can won't open. That's the way she is: fine unless something goes wrong and that minor obstacle becomes a huge wall she can't scale. She becomes helpless whenever things don't go smoothly, or exactly as she imagined them.”
Gregory Galloway, As Simple as Snow
“You have your whole life ahead of you," my mother told me, "don't spend all your time in the past." It's good advice, I know it is, but the past has its own ideas. It can follow you around with a life of its own, casting a long shadow.”
Gregory Galloway, As Simple as Snow
“There are realms of life where the concepts of sense and nonsense do not apply.”
Gregory Galloway, As Simple as Snow
“She is a woman who needs someone to take care of her, but it isn't going to be me.”
Gregory Galloway, As Simple as Snow
“L’énigme à elle seule vaut presque tout. Parfois le mystère est bien plus amusant que le reste.”
Gregory Galloway, As Simple as Snow
“There's a whole world all around more interesting, wonderful, terrifying, mysterious, amazing than any novel ever written. Pay attention. Take a chance. Dare life.”
Gregory Galloway, As Simple as Snow
“Я ничего не хотел надевать, но, в конце концов, решил изобразить упаковку сыра “Велвита”.”
