The mistakes I've made are dead to me. But I can't take back the things I never did. (p. 309) - Jonathan Safran Foer

"You do not have to present not-truths to me, Sasha. I am not a child."(But I do. That is what you always fail to understand. I present not-truths in order to protect you. That is also why I try so inflexibly to be a funny person. Everything is to protect you. I exist in case you need to be protected.)

I imagine a line, a white line, painted on the sand and on the ocean, from me to you.

While it is always possible to wake a person who's sleeping, no amount of noise will wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.
