“I don’t like talking much.
And honestly, that’s okay.
Not everyone is built for constant conversation. Some of us observe more than we speak. We listen, we think, we process. Silence is not emptiness ; it’s clarity.

I speak when it matters. I share when it feels right.
And the people who understand this… are my kind of people”

The ideal is for things to be produced as needed, not to be stocked until needed.”

You can't turn the word puss around. Go around and say, "What's up pussy" to a brother. He'll try to kill you. "What's up dickhead?" You can't turn that around, so you can't turn nigger around as hard as you try.”

I don't like this love for tombs,
I don't like this kind of respect,

For thousands of golden deaths.
I'd never change one ounce of respect while alive
For thousands of tombs when I'm dead.”

When I hear my name it's shocking, a word that isn't spoken. Taboo.”

“I don't like you, Park. I think I live for you. I don't think I even breathe when we're not together. Which means when I see you on Monday morning, it's been like sixty hours since I've taken a breath. That's probably why I'm so crabby, and why I snap at you.

I'm not even mine anymore, I'm yours, and what if you decide that you don't want me? How could you want me like I want you?”
