"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors."

The only obsession everyone wants: ‘love.’ People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you’re whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You’re whole, and then you’re cracked open.

The Book of Life begins with a man and a woman in a garden…It ends with Revelations.
