“Lost in the impossible pleasure of finding that soul and body that fits up perfectly to yours, lost in the starburst patterns that wait behind their eyelids when all that matters is that they are both here, now, for as long as they can be.”
― Kay Simone, One Giant Leap

“It’s terrible. It’s the worst. You’re just trying to live your life and then you look at this person you’ve looked at â€� maybe someone you’ve looked at a thousand times before â€� and you realize, Oh, fuck my life. I’m in love with this moron.”
― Kay Simone, The Game Changer

“He made me use my mad voice, Laxmi,”

“You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you didn’t even have a name for.â€� “Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us. These, our bodies, possessed by light. Tell me we’ll never get used to it.â€� “It looks like I’m floating but I’m not floating. Sometimes I draw you with fangs. I tell you these things because I love you.â€� â€� Richard Siken”

“If we don’t keep people in space, we’re gonna die on this planet because there are so many deep-dish morons without the slightest understanding of science legislating on, surprise, science. These ripped trash bags would be lucky to pass a third grade Earth Science course but they’re making decisions right now for you and me. Decisions that are going to hurt out children and our children’s children. So instead of actually electing someone whose built a campaign on something substantial or informed, instead of that, we have to choose between an unfrosted pop-tart and a flattened packing peanut for our next president and neither one of them has the slightest idea just what NASA is researching why it’s so vital. These factory reject dildos are the worst of the worst and no matter we do, or how mad I get, or how many lives in the future will depend on the things that NASA is learning regularly these wet handshakes have made a decision. For what? For votes.”

“Their love isn’t about completing one another because they were both complete years before they met. What they have is about being more than the sum of their parts”
― Kay Simone, The Love Song

“The blue and green horizon is so definite in an endless plain of vision of black. I feel the least alone when I look at that. It takes me from being the buzzing center of my own pitiful little universe to knowing, internalizing without a doubt, that I am not important, and I have never been important, and I will never be important.”
― Kay Simone, One Giant Leap

“Creepy is the 8,000 times you're going to wake up in the next year to me staring at you while you sleep because I still cannot goddamn believe that I'm here and you're here with me and you're mine,”
― Kay Simone, One Giant Leap

“The lunch would be enough. Seeing Curt sometimes and knowing that the man tolerated his presence would be enough. Knowing he’d gotten Curt and the rest of the Hermes crew back to Earth safely would be enough.”
― Kay Simone, One Giant Leap

“Time had a way of slowing down for him whenever he decided to wade into memories with no stimulation to keep him from thinking all of the worst.”
― Kay Simone, The Love Song

“It’s terrible. It’s the worst. You’re just trying to live your life and then you look at this person you’ve looked at â€� maybe someone you’ve looked at a thousand times before â€� and you realize, Oh, fuck my life. I’m in love”

“Mr. Larkin was just telling us about the jerks in Washington messing around with NASA.â€�
“Jerks? No, jerks doesn’t even begin to cover it kid. Hell, there aren’t even swear words that exist for the unwashed flipflops making these kinds of decisions. We’ve got the worst group of sticky doorknobs in office right now; these used Q-tips don’t even have the presence of mind to see that maned space flight is worth any cost. They’re buffering YouTube videos, they’re coffee rings on the stain of humanity.”
― Kay Simone, One Giant Leap

“You don’t just live your life one way for 19 years and turn on a dime.”

― Kay Simone, The Love Song

“This is what happens, you give a piece of yourself to someone and then they’re gone. It’s happened every time with the people he’s needed to trust the most and why should this be any different. It’s better, easier, safer to construct a world that ends with the boundaries of yourself. When you go giving away pieces of who you are, they grow legs and walk away.”
― Kay Simone, One Giant Leap

“Why wasn’t there a word in the English language, Reese wondered, that described the bittersweet realization that in different circumstances, you would’ve been great friends with someone? The Germans probably had a word for it. They were overachievers at nuanced sadness.”
― Kay Simone, Golden Boy

“He wants Patrick to keep talking. There is something calming thinking about there being another human out there doing nothing but speaking to him.”
― Kay Simone, One Giant Leap

“We’re surrounded by stars that we can’t even see because of light pollution.â€� Patrick says, finally. “It’s perverse. People don’t want to admit that we’re such a small part of this place and we let the things that go on down here block out the bigger picture. And so, people like you and me we have to fight to see the stars.”
― Kay Simone, One Giant Leap

“And the enormity of what has led them to this exchange is so far beyond the phrase that it’s absurd, Will thinks, that the English language hasn’t evolved a way to express everything else behind those three simple words.”
― Kay Simone, The Aftermath

“Maybe once you knew what the ripping feeling of sorrow was like, it was harder to appreciate anything but that, always knowing that it would come back eventually.”
― Kay Simone, The Love Song

“Beers? It’s barely eight.â€� “Do you even Sunday, champ?”
― Kay Simone, The Game Changer
