“It’s so easy to fall in love with things we don’t understand. We try to turn away in frustration, try to close our eyes to the riddle our brain is already desperately trying to solve, but most of the time we’re already lost at that point. We look at a hundred different faces every day, but don’t we get stuck on the ones we can’t figure out right away? Those with sparkling eyes that hold millions of secrets and countless stories, lazy smiles that draw us in, dimples that dig us an even deeper hole to fall into? Don’t we go for the ones we don’t understand at first, the ones that have so many facets, they never fail to surprise us? Aren’t we all fascinated by the unknown? (This is why I fell in love with you.) This is why I fell in love with myself.”

I am the invulnerable animal who passes through fire and is not burned.”

“It is a brutal thing to have ideals. If you have any ideals, beliefs, or principles you cannot possibly look at yourself directly.”
