I felt like she was taking away from you all the things that I didnâ€™t have. Thatâ€™s why Iâ€™m sorry. Iâ€™m sorry because you shouldnâ€™t have to be everything to me. I had you, but Iâ€™d forgotten that I had myself too.”

It wasn't the future 15 minutes out-it was the future sideswiping you and leaving you in a full-body cast as it passed by.”
“When I was a girl, the West was still young, and the law of force, of physical force, was dominant.”
