| 6dc876b | Party lights hang over the street, yellow and red and green. Sadie stumbles over someone's chair, but I'm ready for this and I catch her easily by the arm. "Sorry, clumsy," she says.

| 122d737 | We fear that evaluating our needs and then carefully choosing partners will reveal that there is no one for us to love.

| fd89ae0 | Truth has power. And if we all gravitate toward similar ideas, maybe we do so because those ideas are true...written deep within us. And when we hear the truth, even if we don't understand it, we feel that truth resonate within us...vibrating with our unconscious wisdom.

We felt the imprisonment of being a girl, the way it made your mind active and dreamy, and how you ended up knowing which colors went together. We knew.. | Jeffrey Eugenides |
