"I always thought of men as being hard-maybe because I was hard. But there was a softness in Tom that betrayed his large masculine hands and his deep baritone voice. He knew something about love that I didn't. I don't know where he'd learned it, but it wasn't something you got from a book, not something you could learn in an online class, not something you could borrow. Maybe it was something you were born with. Some people knew how to love and some people didn't. Tom was the former. I was the latter. I didn't know which one of us had it worse."

That word becomes someone you hate. And you take that word with you wherever you go. And you can't pretend it isn't there."

"I live in an ecotone. Employment must coexist with goofing off. Responsibility must coexist with irresponsibility."
Quote_1.png
Benjamin Alire Saenz
"I wondered what it was like to feel whole, to not feel torn up or stunned out or wigged out or any of those things. I wondered what it was like to walk around the world looking up at the sky instead of searching the ground, eye to eye with things that crawled."
