That's what gets me through the day. Knowing that I could do it. That I'm strong enough to do it and I can get it done.

I'm jealous of her. Can you be jealous of your mom for being able to handle things? I couldn't take a day off, take a dog to the vet, and cook dinner. That's like three times too much stuff for me to get done in one day. How am I ever going to have my own house?

We're all animals, high school is animals, but some of us are more animal than others. Like in 'Animal Farm,' which I read, all animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others? Here in the real world, all equals are created animal, but some are more animal than others.
Ned Vizzini
That's all I can do. I'll keep at it and hope it gets better.
Ned Vizzini
They've spent alot of money on me. I'm ashamed.
Ned Vizzini
No, mom says, looking at me in the eyes. What's a triumph is that you woke up this morning and decided to LIVE. THAT'S a triumph. that's what you did today.
Ned Vizzini
It’s a huge thing, this Shift, just as big as I imagined. My brain doesn’t want to think anymore all of a sudden it wants to do.
Ned Vizzini
Things to do today: 1) Breathe in. 2) Breathe out.

If you can't get out of bed for long enough, people come and take your bed away
Ned Vizzini
I wasn’t gifted. Mom was wrong. I was just smart and I worked hard. I had fooled myself into thinking that was something important to the rest of the world. Other people were complicit in this ruse. Nobody had told me I was common.
