Quote by Paul Rudnick

“...with Farrell beside me, I had an ally and a history, someone who knew everything about me and loved me anyway. Without him I became, for the first time, truly old. I didn't want to be here. I didn't want to be anywhere. I wondered, how do people get through this, and I knew instantly: they don't.”
