I was flicking through this in the book store the other week, and there was a great, brief passage written in hand with an illustration next to it. It was about one sentence long, and the sentiment was something like 'For ages I could only love you, and now you are gone I can love everything'. I'm paraphrasing very badly here. If anyone has a copy I'd be really grateful if they could type out the proper quote. Thanks.

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Sorry I can't be more helpful about the piece...all I remember aside from what I paraphrased above was that it was very short, possibly untitled, hand written, somewhere in the middle, and on a left page :|

Thanks man, that'd be great.

I remember seeing the Phillip Glass score on a torrent site, is it worth checking out?
