“You know that you’ve found something amazing, and you want to hold on to it forever; and every second after you have it, you fear the moment you might lose it.”

“Don’t be afraid. You weren’t a monster in this life…Just lonely, lost, confused, broken - like all of us who pass this way.”

“I know exactly how that is. To love somebody who doesn’t deserve it. Because they are all you have. Because any attention is better than no attention.”

“Sometimes it was hard to express how much you loved someone. You said the words, but you could never quite capture the depth of it. You could never quite hold someone tightly enough.”

“I’ve had friends that couldn’t be my lover. I’ve had lovers who couldn’t be my friend. I can’t wait for the day I find the person that is both.”

“Ten years from now, make sure you can say that you chose your life, you didn’t settle for it.”

“I know too much and not enough.”

“Don’t be afraid of your dark places. If you can shine a light on them, you’ll find treasure there.”

“You can obsess and obsess over how things ended—what you did wrong or could have done differently—but there’s not much of a point. It’s not like it’ll change anything. So really, why worry?”

“Anyone would be lucky to be loved by you, but not just anyone is worthy of your love.”

“She told him that she loved him because she understood him completely.”

“We want someone that we can be at our weakest with, and not feel so. That our vulnerability isn’t taken advantage of, but taken care of.”

“I’ve reinvented myself once. And I can do it again.”

“Do you know what people really want? Everyone, I mean. Everybody in the world is thinking: I wish there was just one other person I could really talk to, who could really understand me, who’d be kind to me. That’s what people really want, if they’re telling the truth.”
