Quotes 

• Carla : I'm just trying to figure out who I am, you know, because I don't feel like myself anymore. Even when I go off the medication, I don't feel like myself.

• Marco : So Emily, can I ask you what your full fake name is?

  Carla : Emily Lowell.

  Marco : Is that Emily Dickinson and Robert Lowell? Those are good poets. Do you know they were both bipolar?

• Carla : One day the sun cast onto the world" to show its image in different light. All the lines were in place but in between no shape or shades, just shadows of the past cast against an aging brain, fading with the sunset's dying rays... Wiping away all trace of yesterday.

• Carla : Please, God, let me feel what you feel. I will stare up into the sky with wide open eyes until you burn through my irises and touch my mind with your fire.

• Carla : When you have this illness, you... actually go manic before you go into the hospital, dad.

• Carla : Why did you name yourself Luna?

  Marco : Because the lunatic looks to the moon as if asking it how he got stuck down here.

• Carla : The fire went out... black, not even the smoke to sniff up the memory of last night's wild sight and resurrect its magic back, sun-burnt on the tip of a matchstick with one flick of God's finger, as all eternal blows out... Lost in shadows... Surround my lips like vicious flint with thrilled flicks licked with silk... It's going up in flames... As my spirit spreads! Get away my brains like stretching... Chain... Can't have wings... Wildfires rising high in my eyes... So wild... Fire irises. I'm a flame. I'm a flame!
