The most dangerous sicknesses are those that make us believe we are well

Love is the only thing in the world worth having. You must never loose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.

I remember a story I once heard about drowning: that when you fall into cold water it's not that you drown right away but that the cold disorients you and makes you think that down is up and up is down, so you may be swimming, swimming, swimming for your life in the wrong direction, all the way toward the bottom until you sink. That's how I feel, as though everything has been turned around.

But if you do believe, then you already know all about magic.

As soon as I look up, his eyes click onto my face. The breath whooshes out of my body and everything freezes for a second, as though I’m looking at him through my camera lens, zoomed in all the way, the world pausing for that tiny span of time between the opening and closing of the shutter.

That's what Zombieland is: frozen, calm, quiet.

I didn't realize then what a privilege that was: to be bored with your best friend; to have time to waste.
