My reading list grows exponentially. Every time I read a book, it'll mention three other books I feel I have to read. It's like a particularly relentless series of pop-up ads.

I have little shame, no dignity – all in the name of a better cause.

I've never before been so aware of the thousands of little good things, the thousands of things that go right every day.

I rarely drink from the bottle, but I'll smoke a little weed,

Don't. Please, just let me hold you a little bit longer," he mumbled into my hair

I could not have slept tonight if I had left that helpless little creature to perish on the ground.

I am very little inclined on any occasion to say anything unless I hope to produce some good by it.
