"You’d better take a weight off of your mind and listen to what other people say, because things are going wrong your own way. You’re always looking for a sign, but boy you blow it every time."

But think of it this way: you could either be successful or be us. And now that we’re photogenic, we don’t stand a chance. It certainly doesn’t pay to be smarter than teachers, smarter than most boys, so elope with me in private and we’ll set something ablaze, we’ll drink ourselves awake. Just get me away from here.

The truth is, life outside the diamond is a wrench: I fought in a war and I left my friends behind me to go looking for the enemy, but it wasn’t very long before it stretched before me infinitely, and I couldn’t really think. Now I’m so tired that down on the pavement I’ll lay until the blossom of the tree comes falling on me.

From my window I will shut my eyes and let go. I always cry at endings.

Everybody’s trying to make us another century of fakers.
