What would you like? I'd like my money's worth.

Try explaining a life bundled with episodes of this -

         swallowing mud, swallowing glass, the smell of blood
on the first four knuckles.

We pull our boots on with both hands

but we can't punch purselves awake and all I can do

is stand on the curb and say Sorry

about the blood in your mouth. I wish it was mine.

I couldn't get the boy to kill me, but I wore his jacket for the longest time.

A touching book of poems. Sometimes tragic, sometimes so hurtful, and really, really beautiful. I recommend it to everyone, it's the kind of book one should keep on one's nightstand, in one's bag and take it everywhere. It was really hard to choose just one quote.

And now, dinner! Then I have to sail for Venezia with Leonardo da Vinci, can't keep the guy waiting. (man, that game is so addictive!)

That indeed is a beautiful quote.

I just love this guy!

Tonight you're thinking of cities under crowns
of snow and I stare at you like I'm looking through a window,
counting birds.

His words paint really nice pictures. ♥

Google gave me a nice quote just now: "Ein Wunsch kann durch nichts mehr verlieren, als dadurch, dass er in Erfüllung geht." (Peter Bamm) It says: "A wish cannot lose more than it does by its granting."
