“There are two kinds of love. In the safe kind, you look for someone who’s exactly like you. It’s what most folks settle for. But then there’s the other kind of love. Everyone’s born with a ragged edge, and some folks crave the piece that’s a perfect fit. You’ll search for it forever, if you have to. And if you’re lucky enough to find it, it looks so right, you start to tear at your own seams, thinking maybe I could look just as perfect. But then, of course, when you try to get close to their other half, you don’t fit anymore. That kind of love. . . you come out of it a different person than you were when you started.”

“If it had been easy for Romeo to get Juliet, nobody would have cared. Same goes for Cyrano and Don Quixote and Gatsby and their respective paramours. What captures the imagination is watching men throw themselves at a brick wall over and over again, and wondering if this is the time that they won’t be able to get back up. For everyone who adores a happy ending, there’s someone else who cannot help but rubberneck at the accident at the side of the road. You wonder though, what would have happened if Juliet’s best friend started flirting with Romeo. if Gatsby had got drunk one night and told Daisy how he felt. If any of those poor romantic fools would have driven hours north into the Hopi reservation and doubled back, the word sucker fizzing like acid in the bellies as they sneaked glances across the car at the woman they loved, knowing she was going home to another man. You wonder if any of them would have been as stupid as I was, and kissed her.”

“I’d like to think that we can be a hundred different people in one lifetime. Maybe once you change, there’s a piece that stays that way forever. Until, eventually, you cannot remember who you were in the first place.”
