There is no man, and no place, without war. The only thing we can do is choose a side, and fight. That is the only choice we get - who we fight for, who we fight against. That is life.

I sometimes think that the size of our happiness is inversely proportional to the size of our house.

It doesnt always help us to love the world,but it does prevent us from hating the world.

Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears.

Friendship is also a kind of medicine, and the markets for it, too, are sometimes black.

Never let anyone know what you're thinking - always know what the other thinks of you.

The touch was exactly what the touch of a lover's hand should be: familiar, yet exciting as a whispered promise. I felt an almost irresistible urge to take her hand and place it flat against my chest, near my heart. Maybe I should've done it. I know now that she would've laughed, if I'd done it, and she would've liked me for it. But strangers that we were then, we stood for five long seconds and held the stare, while all the parallel worlds, all the parallel lives that might've been, and never would be, whirled around us.
