But just remember; life without me, would be even more unbearable.

You’re going to have a hard time in life if you let every little mistake bother you.. Life is good. Enjoy it.

I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal.

The motions of her mind were as incalculable as the flit of a bird in the branches.

You don’t have to be good all the times. It’s okay to be hurt sometimes. It’s okay to feel lost like you’re wandering around in the dark. It’s the bad days that make the good ones so much better.

I’m so eager to see you again, but I wouldn’t ask to see you. Not because I’m proud. In fact, in front of you, I cede all my pride. Yet only if you asked to see me, our meeting would be meaningful to me.

I’ve learned that the worst thing a parent can do is ignore their children.

And it is strange that absence can feel like presence.

There is something at work in my soul, which I do not understand.

We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: it’s got to be the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is the problem I want to have.” I will find that special person who is wrong for me in just the right way.

We need, in love, to practice only this: letting each other go. For holding on comes easily; we do not need to learn it.

I cannot be other than what I am, and I am the choices of all my days.
