It's my experience that people are a lot more sympathetic if they can see you hurting.

What if life could be this way? Only the happy parts, none of the terrible, not even the mildly unpleasant. What if we could just cut out the bad and keep the good? This is what I want to do with Violet - give her only the good, keep away the bad, so that good is all we ever have around us.

No more winter at all. Finch, you brought me spring.

Hope you're keeping the dust out of your eyes and your feet off the ground.

Who cares for Algebra?Who delights in solving math?I only want to live my lifeAlong the creative path.

I should be happy, but instead I feel nothing. I feel a lot of nothing these days. I've cried a few times, but mostly I'm empty, as if whatever makes me feel and hurt and laugh and love has been surgically removed, leaving me hollowed out like a shell.

You make me lovely, and it's so lovely to be lovely to the one I love.
