New hope is rolling in

When I was in grade school, we read Romeo and Juliet. For extra credit, Ms. Snyder used to make us act out all the parts. Sal Scarfarillo was Romeo. As fate would have it, I was Juliet. Most of the girls were green with envy. I wasn't. I told Ms. Snyder that Juliet was an idiot. For one thing, she falls for the one guy she knows she can't have... Everyone thinks it's so romantic: Romeo and Juliet, true love... How sad. If Juliet was stupid enough to fall for the enemy, drink a bottle of poison, and go to sleep in a mausoleum, then she deserved everything she got.

I think you can't wait for someone to fly underneath you and save your life... I think you have to save yourself.

Ms. Snyder explained to me that when fate comes into play, choice sometimes goes out the window. Maybe Romeo and Juliet were fated to be together, but just for a while, and then their time passed. If they could have known that beforehand, maybe it all would have been okay.

I told Ms. Snyder that when I was grown up, I'd take fate into my own hands. I wouldn't let some guy drag me down. Ms. Snyder said I'd be lucky if I ever had that kind of passion with someone, and if I did, we'd be together forever.

There is nothing you can reveal about yourself that I wouldn't want to know.

I want a person who comes into my life on accident and stays on purpose.

A true man does not need to romance a different girl every night. A true man romances the same girl for the rest of his life.

And then he slipped his arm around her waist, pressing his head to hers. She loved that best, even more than fucking. She could never have imagined such a little thing could fill her with such indescribable sweetness, she felt too small to hold it.

The quietest people have the loudest minds.
