“Patrick said that the problem was that since everything has happened already, it makes it hard to break new ground. Nobody can be as big as the Beatles because the Beatles already gave it a “context.” The reason they were so big is that they had no one to compare themselves with, so the sky was the limit.”

“His eyes darken, so black and fathomless that there’s a hint of emptiness. For a flash of a second, I see the Jack I used to know. The Jack who used to be vulnerable, who used to worry out loud about his mom, who cried more than I did when I had to get surgery to fix the scar on my lip again, back when I was four, because he was scared I was in pain.”
