At the most painful moment, you think that the wound will never heal. And then, one morning, you’re startled to discover that you no longer feel this terrible burden

There are incredible people
whom we meet at the wrong moment.
And there are people who are incredible
because we meet them at the right moment

I can’t tonight, you see, because hell is other people.

In certain respects, her tragedy had anesthetized her

had always had a spot in her heart for awkwardness

you’re always five minutes behind when it comes to having a conversation about love

By linking vulnerabilities, you reach a kind of strength

She knew you had to go forward, that life was principally about going on living

That there was no difference between him and empty space.
