Shakespeare, Emily Bronte, they were all trying to tell us what a fucking tragedy love was, but somehow the Hallmark people made a miracle out of tragedy. Convinced us this love thing was something to strive for, to exist for.Told us it was beautiful thing that enriched your life, set your soul on fire. You know what? Your soul is the house your sanity lives in. So when love sets your soul on fire, it's burning your fucking house down. Hollywood doesn't tell you that. That the moment you love, your sanity goes up in flames.”

In a world that gave me a life I had no control over, my body became my kingdom in which I ruled. There was a kind of brutal comfort in that.”
