I wanted to destroy everything beautiful I'd never have. Burn the Amazon rain forests. Pump chlorofluorocarbons straight up to gobble the ozone. Open the dump valves on supertankers and uncap offshore oil wells. I wanted to kill all the fish I couldn't afford to eat, and smother the French beaches I'd never see. I wanted the whole world to hit bottom. ↗

For silence is what happens when words fall asleep and you must carry the belief that one day they will wake up inside of you. ↗

Beauty, happiness, they're things so big they can't capture them with their scientific words. It's like what they used to call magic. ↗
