"Forests may be gorgeous, but there is nothing more alive than a tree that learns how to grow in a cemetery."
- Andrea Gibson, Titanic

"Autumn is the hardest season. The leaves are all falling like they're falling in love with the ground. And the trees are naked and lonely. I keep trying to tell them new leaves will come around in the spring, but you can't tell trees those things. They're like me, they just stand there and don't listen."

"I can't live here. In my body, I mean. I can't live in my body all the time, it feels too much. So if I ever feel far away know I am not gone. I am just underneath my grief, adjusting the dial on my radio faith so I can take this life with all of its love and all of its loss."
- Andrea Gibson, Royal Heart

"That night when you kissed me, I left a poem in your mouth, and you can hear some of the lines every time you breathe out."
- Andrea Gibson, Yarn
