If you had to pack your whole life into a suitcase-not just the practical things, like clothing, but the memories of the people you had lost and the girl you had once been-what would you take?

There are certain things I do not talk about.

How far can a person go... and still live with himself.

When someone loves you up one side and down the other like that, you make every effort to stick around.

You can widen the feet of a compass, but they are still attached at the top; you can spin them away from each other, but you always wind up where you started.

The saddest day in the world will be the one when she stops pretending.

The bigger the hole inside you, the more desperate you became to fill it.
