“Ghosts don't haunt us. That's not how it works. They're present among us because we won't let go of them.”

“Corporations! It's like there are these gigantic monsters living among us, and we don't mind that they're monsters because when we look at them they smile and hand us cheeseburgers. That's nuts.”

“Let us go on committing suicide by working among our people, and let them dream life just as the lake dreams the sky.”

“Mistakes don't have to define us. They're how we learn and grow. They show us who and what we don't want to be. It's why they're mistakes.”

“I don't suppose you have to believe in ghosts to know that we are all haunted, all of us, by things we can see and feel and guess at, and many more things that we can't.”

“We are so used to releasing words, we don't know what to do with them if they stay. No matter how many times we let them go, they come back. The words that matter always stay.”

“Murder is such a charged word. You know how some people fixate and won't let things go? They're called cops.”

“In one aspect, yes, I believe in ghosts, but we create them. We haunt ourselves.”

“Nothing haunts us like the things we don't say.”
