Love unrequited is violent. He loves you so much that he's turned it into hate.

We destroy things with our curiosity. We shatter with our best intentions

I don't know if it was love or an illusion. I don't know if there's ever a way to be certain.

No matter how lonely it makes me, and no matter how wide and horrific the loneliness, at least I remember who I am.

And everywhere girls, tumbling from trees like orange blossoms and hitting the earth with sickening thuds. They crack open.

You can't be afraid. You can be sad if you like. You can be angry. But it's the fear that'll freeze you in place.

We can change so many times in our lives. We're born into a family, and it's the only life we can imagine, but it changes. Buildings collapse. Fires burn. And the next second we're someplace else entirely, going through different motions and trying to keep up with this new person we've become.
