Sharks' Teeth Everything contains some silence. Noise gets its zest from the small shark's-tooth- shaped fragments of rest angled in it.

When you're a kid, it's hard to tell the innocuous secrets from the ones that will kill you if you keep them. Karen Russell, St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves
QOTD
Loretta, I love you. Not like they told you love is, and I didn't know this either, but love don't make things nice - it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess.
