"Interesting Capitalization." I said.|"Yeah. I'm a big believer in random capitalization. The rules of capitalization are so unfair to words in the middle."
"Light, the visible reminder of Invisible Light."
There is a corner of the word somewhere far away from here where no one knows what "Margo Roth Spiegelman" means. And Margo is sitting in that corner, scrawling in her black notebook.
"It would have been nice to tell him that, whatever it was, that it didn't have to be end of the world."|" Yeah, although in the end something kills you."|"Yeah, I know. I'm not saying that everything is survivable. Just that everything except the last thing is."
"When i've thought about him dying- which admittedly isn't that much- I always thought of it like you said, that all the strings inside him broke. But there are a thousand ways to look at it: maybe the strings break, or maybe our ships sink, or maybe we're grass- our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is alive. We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors, is what i mean. But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters. If you choose the strings, then you're imagining a world in which you can become irreparably broken. If you choose the grass, you're saying that we are all infinitely interconnected, that we can use these root systems not only to understand one another but to become one another. The metaphors have implications. Do you know what i mean?"
"Nothing ever happens like you imagine it will." | " Yeah, that's true. But then again, if you don't imagine, nothing ever happens at all."
