Even if I had expected it, even if I had known what I was going to do with my life, it would have knocked the wind out of me.

So what can you do to stop yourself from tilting and falling all over again? ~Amy Tan

Maybe love was superstition, a prayer we said to keep the truth of loneliness at bay. I tilted my head back. The stars looked like they were close together, when really they were millions of miles apart.

I while I write, you while you read, and others while they listen or stop their ears, they are all dying. ~Petrarch
