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.

They're sort of ancillary anyway, friends. I mean, they're important -- everybody knows that the TV tells you so -- but they come and go. You lose one friend, you pick up another.

But some people have to get lucky just to live. And I never knew I could make anybody lucky.
Ned Vizzini
Nobody had told me I was common.

Some of the most profound truths about us are things that we stop saying in the middle.
Ned Vizzini
I found myself jealous of the people who wrote the books. They were dead and they were still taking up my time. Who did they think they were?
