• ““Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss….” He turned to me. “But every once in a while you find someone who's iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare.””
• “...something can be so much more than the parts it took to make it, and why people need things around them that lift them above their lives and make them feel the miracle of living.”
