I learned a long time ago with you that folks who were trying to be kind would rather do it with a macaroni-and-cheese bake than any personal involvement.

You can tell yourself that it's safer to love someone who will never really love you back, because you can't lose someone you never had.
Jodi Picoult

Jodi Picoult
I only just found you, I can't lose you now
