“To break the silence the old man said the first thing that came to his mind: "Loneliness is a type of violence.”
Jonathan Messinger, Hiding Out

“How could you love something so destructive?" I ask.
"Because this wolf doesn't care if your heart is whole or not," you say. "It tastes just the same.”
Jonathan Messinger, Hiding Out

“How did it die?" he asked.
"Short circuit," I said. "Old and frayed wires."
He looked at me like I was senile.
"Could have been disease. Violence. Or, sometimes, things die because we don't love them enough.”
Jonathan Messinger, Hiding Out
