... The house is on fire, but go ahead - finish painting the verandah...
...There's the suffering from love and the suffering from grief - either pain permanently scars the soul...
...I've decided ... Love is an eternity of slow motion replays ...
...You can be talented as a wolf is breathtakingly fierce...Silver and gray, like smoke in the trees - but what do you do with terrible beauty?...
...Spiritual or emotional pain doesn't become a memory so much as a bruise ...
...Love is suffering - that's the happy ending...
...You won't age? I promise you this - your hands will go shiny and transparent and at the slightest bruise they'll bleed...
