Sometimes the key to happiness is just expecting a little bit less

There are some nights when you just want to know there's someone else besides you in this wide world.

He knew that there was a difference between something that makes you happy and something that doesn’t make you unhappy. The trick was convincing yourself these were one and the same.

What could it be like to find out, in a matter of minutes, that the person you believed the sun rose and set on was not the person you'd thought?

When you have been burned by fire once, you don't leap into the flames again.

You could only save someone that wanted to be saved; otherwise, you'd be be dragged down for the count, too.

But that's what love is, isn't it? When it hurts you more to see someone suffer than it does to take the pain away?
