Everything is still falling apart.

The moment the world declares a person to be immortal, at that moment the person will strive to prove the world wrong. In the face of glowing press releases and reviews the most heralded women starve themselves or cut themselves or poison themselves. Or they find a man who's happy to do that for him.

To a certain extent everybody has a certain sort of way of being a persona that they learn how to be when they're really little. They figure out that if they're really funny, or really pretty, or if they work really, really hard or are really smart, then that's what's going to get them by. That is what is going to make people like them.

You have to jump into disaster with both feet.

I wanted to destroy everything beautiful I'd never have.

That's how a good story works. It changes how you feel. It brings you to a greater appreciation, a greater joy, of your own existence.

The on­ly thing I know is ev­ery­thing you love will die.
