“All the while, my mind reeled with what had happened.”

“…I've had a bad week."

It more often happens that there is something insincere or artificial about the image one has thought of. Here again is another way of improvising.”

“There are just lots of possibilities in the world… I need to keep my mind open for what could happen and not decide that the world is hopeless if what I want to happen doesn't happen. Because something else great might happen in between.”

“For a few minutes, everything is so cute that the mind reels…. And then, believe it or not, things get worse. So I shot myself.”
