• «You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.»
• «Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”»
• «Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.»
• «He insisted that stars were people so well loved, they were traced in constellations, to live forever.»

• «You don't need water to feel like you're drowning, do you?»
• «If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever with a hole inside you that couldn't be filled?»
• «Something still exists as long as there's someone around to remember it.»
• «Lie to yourself until it's true.»
• «If you were drifting with a thousand other people, could you really still say you were lost?»

— the storyteller

• «History isn't about dates and places and wars. It's about the people who fill the spaces between them.»
• «Inside each of us is a monster; inside each of us is a saint. The real question is which one we nurture the most, which one will smite the other.»
• «That's why we read fiction, isn't it? To remind us that whatever we suffer, we're not the only ones?»
• «It does'nt matter who forgives you, if you're the one who can't forget.»
