"We live our lives, do whatever we do, and then we sleep. It’s as simple and ordinary as that. A few jump out windows, or drown themselves, or take pills; more die by accident; and most of us are slowly devoured by some disease, or, if we’re very fortunate, by time itself. There’s just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds & expectations, to burst open & give us everything we’ve ever imagined, though everyone but children (and perhaps even they) know these hours will inevitably be followed by others, far darker and more difficult. Still, we cherish the city, the morning, we hope, more than anything for more. Heaven only knows why we love it so."

"You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn’t black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing. You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, f*ck it, I don’t care what you think. I’m trying to do the right thing. I’m tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background. I’m trying to do the right thing, and that’s where I’m going with this."

Republican N.Y. state senator Roy McDonald, reversing his stand against same-sex marriage, quoted in The NY Daily News. (via washingtonpoststyle)
Roy McDonald is my representative (Rennselaer County) and I have to say I’m really proud to say that now. This clearly wasn’t an easy decision for him, considering that he voted differently a couple years ago, and I really applaud him for not following the party line and voting his conscience. I’ve never voted for a Republican before, and I’m still not sure I will when he goes up for reelection, but you can bet that this is going to factor in my decision. Bravo, Mr. McDonald.
