- Being with him made my brain quiet. I didn’t have to invent a thing.
- Just because you’re an atheist, that doesn’t mean you wouldn’t love for things to have reasons for why they are.
- The meaning of my thoughts started to float away from me, like leaves that fall from a tree into a river, I was the tree, the world was the river.
- We laughed and laughed, together and separately, out loud and silently, we were determined to ignore whatever needed to be ignored, to build a new world from nothing if nothing in our world could be salvaged, it was one of the best days of my life, a day during which I lived my life and didn’t think about my life at all.
- If I’d been somone else in a different world I’d've done something different, but I was myself and the world was the world, so I was silent.
- The end of suffering does not justify the suffering, and so there is no end to suffering, what a mess I am, I thought, what a fool, how foolish and narrow, how worthless, how pinched and pathetic, how helpless.
- Feathers filled the small room. Our laughter kept the feathers in the air. I thought about birds. Could they fly if there wasn’t someone, somewhere, laughing?

- I thought that maybe if she could express herself rather than suffer herself, if she had a way to relieve the burden, she lived for nothing more than living, with nothing to get inspired by, to care for, to call her own…
- I should have drowned us there in the room, ended our suffering, they would have found us floating face-down in two thousand white pages, or buried under the salt of my evaporated tears…
- We go on killing each other to no purpose! It is war waged by humanity against humanity, and it will only end when there’s no one left to fight.
- Just two days ago she said that her life story was happening faster than her life.
- I thought, it’s a shame that we have to live, but it’s a tragedy that we get to live only one life, because if I’d had two lives, I would have spent one of them with her.
- I can’t live, I’ve tried and I can’t. If that sounds simple, it’s simple like a mountain is simple.

I pointed at, And I wouldn’t say no to something sweet.He pointed at, Cried and cried and cried. I pointed at, Don’t cry. He pointed at, Broken and confused. I pointed at, Something. He pointed at, Nothing. I pointed at, Something. Nobody pointed at, I love you.
