-Favorite BTE song quotes:

"For everyone, there's a person, place, or time that brings you back and makes you feel alive" (which is why I see BTE shows so much...there's just this feeling I get, which probably explains why I love the next quote!)

"If there's a feeling that there's something else, seems like it's always understood this time of year."

"I'm numb...a shell of empty thoughts. But you glow"

"I love it when we fight. It makes me think at least you still care"

"Ivy is just a dog, with a heart as noble as the greatest man who ever lived"
