" Here is the deepest secret that nobody knows. Here is the root of the root, and the bud of the bud, and the sky of the sky,in the tree called life, which grows higher than soul can hope, or mind can hide, and this is the one that is keeping the stars apart. I carry your heart. I carry it in my heart. 」
"We'd found the secret glue that held all things together in a perfect place where the noise did not intrude. Our world was so very complete.」
"Everything we ever did. we did with the best of intentions, but events tumble! And the years pile up. The world is very bewildering to a junkie."
"What do you think this is about? Sunday Lunch. It's a pretty simple thing. But with you two, there's no such thing as simple. It's the drugs! The drugs always come first. Do you have any idea what you have done to my family? To me? What happened to that beautiful little girl?」
"Once upon a time, there was Candy and Dan. Things were very hot that year. All the wax was melting in the trees. He would climb balconies, climb everywhere, do anything for her, oh Danny boy. Thousands of birds, the tiniest birds, adorned her hair. Everything was gold. One night the bed caught fire. He was handsome and a very good criminal. We lived on sunlight and chocolate bars. It was the afternoon of extravagant delight. Danny the daredevil. Candy went missing . The days last rays of sunshine cruise like sharks. I want to try it your way this time. You came into my life really fast and I liked it. We squelched in the mud of our joy. I was wet-thighed with surrender. Then there was a gap in things and the whole earth tilted. This is the business. This, is what we're after. With you inside me comes the hatch of death. And perhaps I'll simply never sleep again. The monster in the pool. We are a proper family now with cats and chickens and runner beans. Everywhere I looked. And sometimes I hate you. Friday - I didn't mean that, mother of the blueness . Angel of the storm. Remember me in my opaqueness. You pointed at the sky, that one called Sirius or dog star, but on here on earth. Fly away sun. Ha ha fucking ha you are so funny Dan. A vase of flowers by the bed. My bare blue knees at dawn. These ruffled sheets and you are gone and I am going too. I broke your head on the back of the bed but the baby he died in the morning. I gave him a name. His name was Thomas. Poor little god. His heart pounds like a voodoo drum.」And sometimes I hate you. Friday - I didn't mean that, mother of the blueness. Angel of the storm.

"Everything's dead. Everything's turning blue."
"And that was it. That was all that was scattered to the winds. Casper was gone. Schumann was lost. Candy was off getting better. The coast. Rehab. And I... was . I was just... The world was full of startling new concepts. I couldn't think. I couldn't breathe. I was waiting for her to come back. Because she was everything. She was everything to me. 」
「 There's no going back. If you're given a reprieve, I think it is good to remember just how thin it is."
"When you can stop, you don't want to. When you want to stop, you can't ."
