“The dead do not need aspirin or sorrow, I suppose. but they might need rain. not shoes but a place to walk. not cigarettes, they tell us, but a place to burn. or we're told: space and a place to fly might be the same. the dead don't need me. nor do the living. but the dead might need each other. in fact, the dead might need everything we need and we need so much if we only knew what it was. it is probably everything and we will all probably die trying to get it or die because we don't get it. I hope you will understand when I am dead I got as much as possible.”

“I hate my left hand. I hate to look at it. I hate it when it stutters and trembles and reminds me that my identity is gone.

I'm going to kill the boy who killed me, and when I kill him, I'm going to do it with my left hand.”
