That strange, twisted, torn love. That conflict between what your heart knows is right and what your mind is told is right.

That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.

When it all come down to it, the thing that matters most in a relationship is principles [...] We have the same idea what’s right and what’s wrong, and that’s got us through any number of things. If you can have that with someone, then you’re most of the way toward love. Not just lover-love. Any kind of love.

I notice you, I want to say. Even when no one else does, I do. I will.

Now when I have to remember a date, all I have to do is consult my rap sheet.

How amazing it is that friendships can become so full that you can't imagine what your life was like before them.

There are all these moments you don't think you will survive. And then you survive.
