Of course I wasn't abused. If I were things would be so simple. I'd have a reason to for being in a shrinks office. I'd have a justification and something to work on. The world wasn't going to give me something that tidy.

Some of the most profound truths about us are things that we stop saying in the middle.

People are screwed up in this world. I'd rather be with someone screwed up and open about it than somebody perfect and ready to explode.

The Shift hasn't happened yet, maybe it never will, but sometimes-just enough times to give me hope-my brain jars back into where it's supposed to be.

(...) Since I was a kid. Which you refer to as 'back when you were happy.' Right.

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.

I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.

That's the number one thing I hear about humans. You have all these choices, so you're confused all the time, and you think so much that you're never happy.

It’s tough to get out of bed I know that myself. You can lie there for an hour and a half without thinking anything, just worrying about what the day holds and knowing that you won’t be able to deal with it.

I feel dead, wasted, awful, broken and useless. It's not the kind of feeling you forget.

Do you even know who the enemy is? I think... it's me.

I like you a lot. Because you’re funny and smart and because you seem to like me. I know that’s not a good reason, but I can’t help it if a girl likes me I tend to like her back [...] I like you for all this stuff but I also kind of like you for the cuts on your face—
