"They're tied down like helium balloons. They strain against the string and strain against it, then something happens, and that string gets cut, and they just float away. And maybe you never see that balloon again." 


"Maybe its more like you said before, all of us being cracked open. Like, each of us starts out as a watertight vessel. And these things happen--these people leave us, or dont love us, or dont get us, or we dont get them, and we lose and fail and hurt one another. And I mean, yeah, once the vessel cracks oen, the end becomes inevitable. But there is all this time between when the cracks start to open up and when we finally fall apart. And its only in that time that we can see one another, because we see out of ourselves through our cracks and into others through theirs. When did we see each other face-to-face? Not until you saw into my cracks and i saw into yours. Before that, we were just looking at ideas of each other, like looking at your window shade but never seeing inside. But once the vessel cracks, the light can get in. The light can get out."
