• There was a boy with skin as dark as the earth & a girl with eyes as blue as the deep & they loved each other so well that people could not tell them apart, for in their hearts, there was no difference between them.
• You see me better than I am, she said & I'm worried what'll happen when your vision changes
• I'm an outsider by choice, she said, but I'm hoping that won't be my choice forever.
• I'm not that scared of change, he told me once, I'm scared of looking stupid in the face of it. It's not going too well either, he added.
• She said she usually cried at least once each day not because she was sad, but because the world was so beautiful & life was so short.
• Don't you hear it? she asked & I shook my head no & then she started to dance & suddenly there was music everywhere & it went on for a very long time & when I finally found words all I could say was thank you.
• The trickiest thing he does is pretending that he's completely invisible to anyone with half a brain & to his mind, that's most of the people he's ever met.
• The day he first told me he was starting to disappear I didn't believe him & so he stopped & held his hand up to the sun & it was like thin paper in the light & finally I said you seem very calm for a man who is disappearing & he said it was a relief after all those years of trying to keep the pieces of his life in one place. Later on, I went to see him again & as I was leaving, he put a package in my hand. This is the last piece of my life, he said, take good care of it & then he smiled & was gone & the room filled with the sound of the wind & when I opened the package there was nothing there & I thought there must be some mistake or maybe I dropped it & I got down on my hands & knees & looked until the light began to fade & then slowly I felt the pieces of my life fall away gently & suddenly I understood what he meant & I lay there for a long time crying & laughing at the same time.
