Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. It just leads to disappointment.

Generally, people who are good at writing letters have no need to write letters. They've got plenty of life to lead inside their own context.

Why do I act like this, agreeing when I really disagree, letting people force me to do things I don't want to do?

I hate requests. They make me feel unhappy. It's like when I take a book out of the library. As soon as I start to read it, all I can think about is when I'll finish it.

You don't have to judge the whole world by your own standards. Not everybody is like you, you know.

Each day the sun would rise and set, the flag would be raised and lowered. Each Sunday I would have a date with my dead friend’s girl. I had no idea what I was doing or what I was going to do.

You could be anybody when you're writing. That's the reason that I'm writing: to be anybody. You can put your feet in various shoes and experience anything.
