“She wept with shame for her lack of will and with fear for a love she couldn't control.”

“Yeah, I loved her. I couldn't help it. She was my brother.”

“She had to face the fact that she couldn't protect everyone she loved. She couldn't solve every problem.”

“I met Courtney Love and she said she'd like to sleep with me, but she couldn't cos of my "pop-star thing"… so I said to her I couldn't sleep with her either - cos of her 'ugly thing'…”

“Been drinking 3 weeks in a row just to forget
About the pain and the tears and the shame and the fears
And I blame her for these but she ain’t really here
She walked away”

“She calls it marriage now; such name
She chooses to conceal her shame.”

“She can find in her bewilderment no words wherewith to begin, how to order or where to end her speech; fain would she pour out all in her first utterance, but not even the first words doth fear-stricken shame allow her.”
Nec quibus incipiat demens videt ordine nec quo quove tenus, prima cupiens effundere voce omnia, sed nec prima pudor dat verba timenti.

“She wanted a book to take her places she couldn't get to herself.”

“Quit, quit, for shame, this will not move:
This cannot take her.
If of herself she cannot love,
Nothing can make her:
The devil take her!”

“She was dull, unattractive, couldn't tell the time, count money or tie her own shoe laces… But I loved her”
