Did the stars come out? Did the world spin round? Does it matter that much when you're ten miles down?

That’s the thing with time, isn’t it? It’s not all the same. Some days – some years – some decades – are empty. There is nothing to them. It’s just flat water. And then you come across a year, or even a day, or an afternoon. And it is everything. It is the whole thing.

Perfection isn't human! And Carlos is not perfect. No, even better. He is... imperfect. Everything about him, and us, and all of this, is... It's imperfect! And those imperfections in our reality are the seams and the cracks into which our outsized love can seep and pool.

Something to being one of the many; something to being one in the masses; something to being surrounded by others, and not alone by yourself.

We don't have to be stars exploding in the night, or electric eels under the covers. We don't have to be anything quite so unreal – let's just be lovers.

For all my good intentions—my good works—always I am hamstrung by my past. Even when the leopard has truly changed his spots, what lamb will dare believe it?

KIM KITSURAGI – “Pleased to make your acquaintance, Harrier Du Bois.” ESPRIT DE CORPS (Medium: Success) – He's not going to call you Harrier. He'll keep calling you ‘officer’ when he's angry with you and ‘detective’ when he's not.

It's not a game for me, Troy. I'm seeing real lava because you're leaving. It's embarrassing. I don't wanna be crazy, but I am crazy, so…

If I see you when I look in my own eyes, how could I ever despise myself again?

Come lie on the couch of the long bone of my thigh. Come rest your head on the cushion of my slow-beating heart. Come home.

I love the way you see the world. I love the way your soul sings. I wish that I could sing like you; I wish that I could feel things.

Sir Greendown, come wake me in the night – the dragon wants a bite of our love.

I hear my heart breaking tonight – do you hear it too? It's like a summer shower, with every drop of rain singing “I love you, I love you, I love you.”

Meadowlark, when you sing it's as if you lay your yellow breast upon mine and say hello, hello, and are we not of one family, in our delight of life? You sing, I listen.

Though I want you, I know I haven't a chance. Still, I want you.

After you died I could not hold a funeral, And so my life became a funeral.

I clawed my way into the light but the light is just as scary. I'd rather quit. I'd rather be sad. It's too much work.

My hatred turned to pity, my resentment blossomed flowers, my bitter tasted candy, my misery was power. The truth in me grew brighter, my nature and my nurture – no more shame, no more fear, no more dread!

What they did to me… I'm not myself anymore. I'm a smile and a twitch of the wrist. It has been years, Cecil. I've drifted away from myself. Sometimes I am one me, and then again I am the other. What they did to the sentient heat trapped temporarily in my body…

Been to many worlds, but none of them this strange. Understood feelings before, but simple feelings—like colors, bold and bright. Happy. Sad. Angry.

All that urgency! Not what the earth is about! How silent the trees, their poetry being of themselves only. I want to take slow steps, and think appropriate thoughts.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, fear makes the heart grow louder, and death makes the heart grow flowers.

Everything had its own place, and I wondered what space I would take in the order you kept.

The world doesn't know what to do with my love. Because it isn't used to being loved. It's a framework problem. Disheartening? Obviously. I hope it's love. I'm trying really hard to make it love.

Cain slew him, in a field, that much we know; and for this wrong he moves us to eloquence. And Abel? Does he inspire… nothing? Then let him sleep.

It is something deeply characteristic of Odysseus himself: like his most famous invention, the Wooden Horse, the bed is a wood structure that contains humans and a secret, and allows close friends to inhabit a hidden place of safety, even surrounded by enemies.

Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless?

Did we teach you shame? Did I teach you that? Because it would break my heart if I had. Can't you see what a good job God did here? Can't you see how beautiful he made you?

To look upon her is torture, with every detail of her suffering impossible to forget, etched across every part of her face and body. But within her memory is the seed of forgiveness.

Your son is here. You don't ever have to be alone again. He is here not because of… fate, or prophecy, but because he needs you. Because he needs you as much as you need him. Because he has needed you his whole lonely life.

You eat it too quickly, always afraid of your lover walking in and seeing it smeared all over your face, red, the damning evidence of your hunger to be wanted, and nobody wants to love someone too desperate to be loved.
