“I began to consider the fact that maybe history is actually the great destroyer of free will.”

“I love how, whenever you tell me a story, you go backwards and forwards and tell me everything else that could possibly be happening in every direction, like an explosion. Like a flower blooming.”

“History chews up sexually uncertain boys, and spits us out as recycled, generic greeting cards for lonely old men.”

“All good books are about everything, abbreviated.”

“Coffee is a girl who never tells a boy no.”

“It was so pleasant, chaotic, emotionless, nameless-everything vibrating so beautifully in the universe without words.”
