She is my first and only love. Most people know that their first love will not be their only love. But for me, she is both.

I cannot think of a single word to describe what we feel. I think we all feel it, to varying degrees. Perhaps in some other language there is a word for 'the world is terribly wrong.' That feeling of stun and unbelief and abandonment and shock and horror and distress.

I want to take back the secrets I told you so I can decide now whether to tell them to you again. I want to take back the piece of me that lies in you, to see if I truly miss it. I want to take back at least half the “I love you”s, because it feels safer that way.

Dullness is the spice of life. Which is why we must always use other spices.

having someone think of me that way was like discovering a new window in the room i'd lived in all my life.

But I had a feeling I wasn't supposed to find her that way. She was not a needle. This was not a haystack. We were people, and people had ways of finding each other.

You never let things go unanswered for too long. Emails. Phone calls. Questions. As if you know the waiting is the hardest part for me.

But there was something about you that made me think of sparks and motion.

If smart people are parodying it, that's a sure sign that some less smart people are believing it.

What a strange phrase — –not seeing other people. As if it’s been constructed to be a lie. We see other people all the time. The question is what we do about it.

If other people see you differently, you’ll end up seeing them differently, too.

Let’s always love each other, and never be in love with each other.
