"Really, weren't these facts just placeholders until the long view could really assert itself?"

"We stay this way until twilight colours the window and the hour calls me home."
Nature
"If you want to live within the definition of your own truth, you have to choose to go through the painful process of finding it."
Self
"It's only in the finer points that it gets complicated and contentious, the inability to realize that no matter what our religion or gender or race or geographic background, we all have about 98 percent in common with each other. Yes, the differences between male and female are biological, but if you look at biology as a matter of percentage, there aren't a whole lot of things that are different. Race is different purely as a social construct, not as an inherent difference. And religion - whether you believe in God or Yahweh or Allah or something else, odds are that at heart you want the same things. For whatever reason, we like to focus on the 2 percent that's different, and most of the conflict in the world comes from that."
Social
"The pink-haired boy is scared, so incredibly scared - only the thing you've most wished for can scare you in that way."
Emotion
"Invoking the moral high ground somehow makes you lose it. Using a secret as a weapon makes you almost as bad as the transgressor."
Morality
"It would be too easy to say that I feel invisible. Instead, I feel painfully visible, and entirely ignored."
Emotion
"Luckily, I always travel with a book, just in case I have to wait on line for Santa, or some such inconvenience."
Lifestyle
"It's not easy, she says, in that voice that mothers have, that mix of unwanted knowledge and small consolation. "Whatever you had-I don't know exactly what it was, and that's fine. But it must not be easy for you. You miss him, and that's okay. But you have to figure that if it's too hard to hang on, then maybe you should let go."
Healing
"But I think we both knew, even then, that what we had was something even more rare, and even more meaningful. I was going to be his friend, and was going to show him possibilities. And he, in turn, would become someone I could trust more than myself."
Friendship
"He doesn't want to step out of the present, this present. Because once he does, there will be college applications and college acceptances (just one will do) and the last of everything (last class, last party, last night, last day, last goodbye), and then the world will change forever and he will go to college and eventually become an adult. That is not what he wants. He does not want those complications, that change. Not now."
