"The summer sun was not meant for boys like me. Boys like me belonged to the rain."
"Dante who loved kissing dogs, who loved kissing his parents, who loved kissing boys, who even loved kissing girls. Maybe kissing was part of the human condition. Maybe I wasn't human."
"I tried to bring my thoughts back to the kitchen. Where I was. Where I lived. I hated the thing of living in my head."
"To be careful with people and with words was a rare and beautiful thing."
"High school was just a prologue to the real novel. Everybody got to write you - but when you graduated, you got to write yourself. At graduation you got to collect your teacher's pens and your parents' pens and you got your own pen. And you could do all the writing."
"'Because I can't stand watching all that loneliness that lives inside you. Because I love you, Ari."
