Edie Brickell Quotes
When I'm all alone it's the best way to be. When I'm by myself nobody else can say goodbye. Everything is temporary anyway. When the streets are wet - the colors slip into the sky. But I don't know why that means you and I are - that means you and... I quit, I give up. Nothin's good enough for anybody else, it seems.
