Measure the hope of that moment, that feeling. Everything else will be measured against it.

And I, who have never thought in terms of a life, think to myself that I could make a life out of this.

Because when something happens, she's the person I want to tell. The most basic indicator of love.

I still don’t know if this is a good quality or a bad one, to be able to be in the moment and then step out of it.

This, I think, is how people survive: Even when horrible things have been done to us, we can still find gratitude in one another.

I have no more idea now of who I am than I did before. But at least I know that. And I'm starting to figure out who I want to be.

There comes a time when the body takes over the life. There comes a time when the body’s urges, the body’s needs, dictate the life. You have no idea you are giving the body the key. But you hand it over. And then it’s in control. You mess with the wiring and the wiring takes charge.
