“ In a blacked-out house, stripped of all comforts, it's easy to turn your anger outward, to attack this city he's lying at the center of, with its filth and its pollution and its oppression, but really, New York is the only thing that's never abandoned him. ”

There was a quality I had of making the people closest to me feel lonely, somehow. Some essential cold withholding at the core of myself.
