"You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you."
"The giver of life is the giver of love." "It is very hard to make a good story out of a happy ending." "We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love." "The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It's the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared." |
