I tell you this as a cautionary tale: beware of getting what you want. It's bound to disappoint you.

I think you're the only person who gets me. When I'm with you, the world doesn't feel like a problem I can't figure out. Please come to the dance, because you're my music.

What we all want, really, is to be loved. That craving drives our worst behavior.

A woman isn't all that different from a bonfire. A fire's a beautiful thing, right? Something you can't take your eyes off, when it's burning. If you can keep it contained, it'll throw light and heat for you. It's only when it gets out of control that you have to go on the offensive.

Just so you know: if this ever happens to you, you will not be ready.

if you don't get sick, you won't get well.
