It is the tenderness that breaks our hearts. The loveliness that leaves us stranded on the shore, watching the boats sail away. It is the sweetness that makes us want to reach out and touch the soft skin of another person. And it is the grace that comes to us, undeserving though we may be.

If love drove people mad, what would lack of love do?

There is an ache in my heart for the imagined beauty of a life I haven't had, from which I had been locked out, and it never goes away.

I think kissing is what separates us from the animals and makes us divine.

I would give anything, anything, to be the man to whom this has not happened. I can not accommodate myself to it. In a lifetime of trying, I can not accommodate myself to it. And now I will have to be that person forever.

It's a sad thing to watch your best friend turn into somebody you don't know anymore. Or even want to know.

If you don't receive love from the ones who are meant to love you, you will never stop looking for it.
