Me

“All that I know about my life, it seems, I have learned in books.”

“The worst memories stick with us, while the nice ones always seem to slip through our fingers.”

“Your heart just breaks, that’s all. But you can’t judge or point fingers. You just have to be lucky enough to find someone who appreciates you.”

“It’s when you can’t feel anything. Sad, happiness or anything. That’s when you’re in deep trouble.”

“As far as I could see, life demanded skills I didn’t have.”

“People who couldn’t imagine themselves capable of evil were at a major disadvantage in dealing with people who didn’t need to imagine, because they already were.”

“Like most misery, it started with apparent happiness.”

“It’s awful not to be loved. It’s the worst thing in the world…It makes you mean, and violent, and cruel.”

“Man only likes to count his troubles; he doesn’t calculate his happiness.”

“Some stories don’t have happy endings. Even love stories. Maybe especially love stories.”

“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art…. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”

“There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable.”

“Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them.”
