A few times in my life I’ve had moments of absolute clarity, when for a few brief seconds the silence drowns out the noise and I can feel rather than think, and things seem so sharp.

What are men compared to rocks and mountains?

This is my  f a m i l y.  I found it all on my own.

It’s little, and broken, but still  g o o d.

“He saved me in every way that a person can be saved.”

I really can’t think about kissing when I’ve got a rebellion to incite.
