“I just wanted…to kiss you good-bye.”

“Tell me something good about your life.”

“Don’t judge yourself by what others did to you.”

“I’m in love. And I like how that feels. And I hate how that feels. Because love is an invention of fiction writers.”

“Smile. Nod. Say something witty before they find out what an incredible geek you are.” 

“So you try to think of someone else you’re mad at, and the unavoidable answer pops into your little warped brain: everyone.”

“Funny how when your life is mostly bullshit, you turn off feeling. Sometimes it’s hard to turn it back on again.”

“You believe this is a game, and you may be right. But if you think you can play it better than me, think again.”

“Why does it hurt so much? Why does it have to hurt?”

“The cure for pain is in the pain.” 

“That information is classified, I’m afraid.”

“Of course I’d like to help you out. Which way did you come in?” 

“You’re mistaking bitter animosity for heartfelt affection.”

“I don’t know whether to punch you or kiss you.” 

“You’re hurt…let me help you. Please.”

“Look at this burn. It’s going to get infected.”

“It’s blood, yeah.”

“I know you’re not okay.”

“Look at me.” 

“You left me.Without a word.”

“You don’t…have to leave. Please.”

“I don’t need the feeling of completeness. I just need the feeling of not being empty.”

“Do you have a lot of sad things in your head?”

“How do I share what I’m feeling?”

“Not your [ boyfriend/girlfriend ], eh?”

“Are you not happy with me?” 

“This is love, isn’t it? When you notice someone’s absence and hate that absence more than anything? More, even, than you love their presence?” 

“I think your [ girlfriend/boyfriend ] is evil and should be destroyed.”
