“One day you will be at the place you always wanted to be.”

“Sometimes people who need help look nothing like people who need help.”

“Try and understand what part you have to play in the world in which you live. There’s more to life than you know and it’s all happening out there. Discover what part you can play and then go for it.”

“Some words hit you like a tree branch slapping you in the face. And some words rip into your flesh, leaving scars so deep, they never completely fade.”

“Oscar Wilde once said that to live is the rarest thing in the world, because most people just exist, and that’s all. I don’t know if he’s right, but I do know that I spend a long time existing, and now, I intend to live.”

“Understand, I’ll slip quietly away from the noisy crowd when I see the pale stars rising, blooming, over the oaks. I’ll pursue solitary pathways through the pale twilit meadows, with only this one dream: You come too.”

“When something bothered me, I didn’t talk with anyone about it. I thought it over all by myself, came to a conclusion, and took action alone. Not that I really felt lonely. I thought that’s just the way things are. Human beings, in the final analysis, have to survive on their own.”

“It’s the ones you love the most who can lift you in an instant, and destroy you without trying.”

“Sometimes not talking is effortless, and other times it’s more exhausting than lifting pianos.”

“I give myself sometimes admirable advice, but I am incapable of taking it.”

“I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone’s heart. I could hear the human noise we sat there making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark.”

“I shall continue to exist. I may assume other disguises, other forms, but I shall try to exist.”

“I can bear any pain as long as it has meaning.”

“Almost. It’s a big word for me. I feel it everywhere. Almost home. Almost happy. Almost changed. Almost, but not quite. Not yet. Soon, maybe.”

“I do not always know what I want, but I do know what I don’t want.”

“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”

“The things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist.”
