There will always be more questions. Every answer leads to more questions. The only way to survive is to let some of them go.

We always loved to say 'If I'd had a Monday-morning class, I never would have met you'. Or 'If you'd been reading something else, none of this would have happened'. We didn't believe in fate, but we believed in serendipity. We felt very lucky.

He is much stronger than I think I am. He is mischievous, outgoing, ready to soar through the clouds, while I often feel like the cloud itself.

Ignorance is not bliss. Bliss is knowing the full meaning of what you have been given.

It is its own form of conversation -- you can learn a lot about people from the stories they tell, but you can also know them from the way they sing along, whether they like the windows up or down, if they live by the map or by the world, if they feel the pull of the ocean.

The boy I just kissed is talking to my father. The boy I want to kiss again is waiting for my mother to serve pancakes. I must fight the urge to freak.

There is no such thing as no choice. There is always a choice. The only question is whether it's a bearable one.

I know the odds are all against me and I know you might not feel this way too but I know I would rather die trying to know if I could mean something to you

I suspected that what happens in hotel rooms rarely lasts outside of them. I suspected that when something was a beginning and an ending at the same time, that meant it could only exist in the present.

How sad it must be for you to be nothing more than a hollow statue, to have your tomb preserved and your story forgotten.
