“Anything is possible. If you believe that everything is back and white, then you believe a fucking lie. Sometimes we want something so bad it’s all we think about. But there is always another path. People disappoint. People shock us with divination and with beauty. Sometimes we just have to wait for the smoke to clear. And there is always smoke.”
