O you who have borne even heavier things, to these too, God will grant an end!
Everyone you trust, everyone you think you can count on, will eventually disappoint you.
It's funny, isn't it? When you are young you just want to be old, and then later you wish you could go back to being a kid.
Someday she will be saved, and the past and all its pain will be rendered as smoothly palatable as the food we spoon to our babies.
And when it started to get dark you pointed to the sky, and told me there was a star for every thing you loved about me.

It's like a razor blade edging its way through my organs, shredding me, all I can think is: It will kill me, it will kill me, it will kill me. And I don't care.
Glory be to God for dappled things.
Never get out of bed before noon.

Oh, he occasionally takes an alcoholiday.
