“It’s like this,” he’d explained once to Connie. “If someone gave you a single rose, you’d be happy, right?”
“Okay,” he went on, “Now imagine someone gives you ten thousand roses.”
“That is a whole lotta roses,” she said. “That’s too much.”
“Right. Too much. But more than that, it makes each individual rose much less special, right? It makes it hard to pick one out and say, ‘That’s the good one.’ And it makes you want to just get rid of them all because none of them seem special now.”
Connie had narrowed her eyes. “Are you saying when you’re at school you just want to get rid of everyone?”

One Final Bonus – Barry Lyga Quote
“See, forgiveness doesn’t happen all at once. It’s not an event — it’s a process. Forgiveness happens while you’re asleep, while you’re dreaming, while you’re inline at the coffee shop, while you’re showering, eating, farting, jerking off. It happens in the back of your mind, and then one day you realize that you don’t hate the person anymore, that your anger has gone away somewhere. And you understand. You’ve forgiven them. You don’t know how or why. It sneaked up on you. It happened in the small spaces between thoughts and in the seconds between ideas and blinks. That’s where forgiveness happens. Because anger and hatred, when left unfed, bleed away like air from a punctured tire, over time and days and years. Forgiveness is stealth. At least, that’s what I hope.”
― Barry Lyga, Boy Toy
