"You are a church of broken glass and hallelujahs. You are haunted like every other holy thing. What tried to destroy you didn't have the strength. Still you stand. Sturdy and smelling of smoke."

"After seven years of experiments, it was clear to us that the remarkable attribute of resilience in the face of defeat need not remain a mystery. It was not an inborn trait; it could be acquired."

“There’s really no shortcut to forgetting someone. You just have to endure missing them everyday until you don’t anymore.”

“If a writer falls in love with you, you can never die.”

“Maybe I’ll see you in another life, if this one wasn’t enough.”

“It’s all messy: the hair, the bed, the words, the heart. Life.”

“I became good at pretending. I became so good that after a while the lines blurred between my truth and fiction. And sometimes, when I did a really good job of pretending, I even fooled myself.”

“You are not free until you have no need to impress anybody.”

“We mature with the damage, not with the years.”

“I’ve found that growing up means being honest. About what I want. What I need. What I feel. Who I am.”
