"If there is such a thing as marriage, it takes place long before the ceremony; in a car on the way to the airport; or as a gray bedrooms fills with dawn, one lover watching the other; or as two strangers stand together in the rain with no bus in sight, arms weighed down with shopping bags. You don't know then. But later you realize - that was the moment."

“Apparently being a mermaid is dead dull. I watched The Little Mermaid with her once a few years agoâ€”she thought it was freaking hilarious. She couldnâ€™t stop laughing about the shell-bra thing, given that mermaids arenâ€™t mammals. Plus, as she put it, Prince Eric was far too hairy and â€œpeach coloredâ€ for her taste. I always thought he was pretty hot, but then again, I am a mammal.”
“Knowing one was comprised of recycled matter only and that selfhood was a delusion did not take away the aching of the heart.”
