Quote
In the distance are the lights of town. People must be finishing their workdays, picking up their kids, figuring out dinner.

Quote
All I have is a life's worth of school days. What came before school I can't remember. You can only sketch so many desks and teachers and chalkboards. You can only come home to so many dinners and homework assignments and nights of taking the garbage out. You can only go to so many museum field trips before you start to wonder, Is this it?
