Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.

Ross held her face between his hands and kissed her. He tasted doubt on her tongue and pain on the roof of her mouth. He swallowed these, and drank again. Consumed, she had no choice but to see how empty he was inside, and how, sip by sip, she filled him Picture Quote #1

What was wrong with me? I had a decent life. I was healthy. I wasn’t starving or maimed by a land mine or orphaned. Yet somehow, it wasn’t enough.

He is afraid to speak loud, lest he be stunned; like the man in the bass drum Picture Quote #1
