“She loved me coming and going, at my worst and at my best. She had a bottomless well of love for me.”

“She is my first and only love. Most people know that their first love will not be their only love. But for me, she is both.”

“Well, my mom told me she saw me coming out of an aircraft and…”

“I love my mom. And this time, I told her I loved her. And she told me she loved me, too. And things were okay for a little while.”

“In my conscience I believe the baggage loves me, for she never speaks well of me herself, nor suffers any body else to rail at me.”

“She's so in love with me, she doesn't know anything. That's why she's in love with me.”

“I love her because she has become something more to me. She become my life.”

“I was a troubled teen
Who put an advert in a magazine
To the annoyance of my imaginary lover
She doubted my integrity
And this is what she said to me:
She said, "Oh, you, you're green
You don't know what love means
Well, let me tell you”

“I always feel sad for the girl that I was, because it never occurred to me that my mother might comfort me. She has never told me she loved me, and I never assumed she did. She tended to me. She administrated me.”

“I didn't care as an ex-ballet dancer wrote and told me she had seen the production and fallen in love with my legs. She said that in other circumstances she could have lived happily with my legs but that she only had a small flat in Holland Park.”
