“Sometimes when you’re in a dark place you think you’ve been buried, but actually you’ve been planted.”

“My point is, there are a lot of people in the world. No one ever sees everything the same way you do; it just doesn’t happen. So when you find one person who gets a couple of things, especially if they’re important ones… you might as well hold on to them.”

“I am here, alone, at the end of the world. I reach out and touch nothing.”

“I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.”

“Don’t listen to yourself. Listen to the advice you give others.”

“And love is when someone who even knows your scars, stays to kiss them.”

“And when you told me what your favorite book was, I bought it and read it over and over… trying to find pieces of you in it.”

“Be alone. Eat alone, take yourself on dates, sleep alone. In the midst of this you will learn about yourself. You will grow, you will learn what inspires you. You will cultivate your own dreams, your own beliefs, your own stunning clarity. And when you do meet the right person who makes your cells dance, you will be sure of it because you are sure of yourself.”

“Part of surviving is being able to move on.”
