And I wasn’t playing a role – I was trying to be myself.
But the harder I was striving, the more I was realizing that I had probably lost that ‘myself’ somewhere between two perfectly performed roles...

Obsessed with Christine to the end, his last statement as he left his cell was, 'to kill is the final possession'. But Muldowney was wrong. He had never possessed Christine; the resistance burning within her was too great.

Two words from him, and I had seen my pouting apathy change into I’ll play anything for you till you ask me to stop, till it’s time for lunch, till the skin on my fingers wears off layer after layer, because I like doing things for you, will do anything for you, just say the word...

If you love sex, let it be known. You don’t have to walk around downtown naked or have some flyers printed up, but definitely don’t be shy about your love (or obsession) for sex.

With the help of fanzines and close attention to the text of the game you can actually learn to speak Tsolyanu while wondering why the school still makes you learn French–it's not like you're going to use it.

Sylvia Plath is there for me when actual living people upon who I have depended upon my whole life, are not. What I mean to say is, without her words, I'd be exponentially more messed up than I am already.

Voleva toccare quella donna.
Voleva sporcare la pelle di Eleanor con la promessa di baci che
l’avrebbero segnata dentro, dove nessuno avrebbe mai potuto leggere
quanto profondamente il conte l’avesse marchiata come sua.

Si scoprì a ricordare una carezza leggera e naturale, uno sguardo
complice e rapito, un contatto tenero e fugace consumato in uno
spazio angusto e scomodo. Una vasca. Lei, come non sarebbe mai più
stata.

«Dimmi che sarà sufficiente» mormorò contro le sue labbra.
Dimmi che basterà per cancellarti dalla mia mente.
Dimmi che potrò essere libero da te.
