My parents believe in the happy endings to the stories of their children.

You love life because life's all there is.

We’re the worst thing because for us the worst thing is the best thing. And it’s only the best thing for us if it’s the worst thing for someone else.

Falling in love makes the unknown known. Falling out of love reverses the process.

Once you've stopped loving someone breaking his or her heart's just an unpleasant chore you have to get behind you. My God, you really don't love me anymore, do you? No matter your decency the victim's incredulity's potentially hilarious. You manage not to laugh.

When you're a kid it's people's cruelty that makes you cry, then when you're an adult it's their kindness.

One day the ordinariness will be terminally punctuated by the extraordinary full stop of death.
