"You've screwed up relationships. Everyone of them --- almost like that was the goal. I want you to trust people. Try."
"They broke you." "They didn't break me. I am broken."
"You caused him pain. If the world is just, you have to suffer equally? You're not God, House. You're just another screwed-up human being who needs to move on. Apologize to him. Let yourself feel better. Then you can learn to let yourself keep feeling better."

"I went to the British Book Awards that evening. After the award ceremony I bumped into a woman I hadn’t seen for nearly three years. The first thing she said to me? ‘You’ve lost a lot of weight since the last time I saw you!’ ‘Well,’ I said, slightly nonplussed, ‘the last time you saw me I’d just had a baby.’ What I felt like saying was, ‘I’ve produced my third child and my sixth novel since I last saw you. Aren’t either of those things more important, more interesting, than my size?’ But no – my waist looked smaller! Forget the kid and the book: finally, something to celebrate! I’ve got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don’t want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny – a thousand things, before ‘thin’. And frankly, I’d rather they didn’t give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons."
"Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care."

"I’m sorry, too. Can’t avoid hurting the people you love. That’s just what happens. That’s family, but I’ve got a feeling we’re going to be making amends to each other for the rest of our lives. The only thing that matters is that we keep doing it."
"Will anyone ever love me?" "I do." "You know what I mean. Will anyone ever love a freak?" "You're not a freak. You just know who you are. And you have the courage to go through with what you have to to, you know, make yourself the person you wanna be. That's more than a lot of us can say." "You're not the person you wanna be?" "I'm working on it."
"Take your steroids. You get to live. And you can do your (plastic) surgery. But it'll only change your face. Won't change who your face made you."
"But one thing is true: love will always be a stronger bond than blood. Trust that."
"Let me tell you something. There is no nobility in poverty. I've been a rich man and I've been a poor man, and I choose rich every fucking time. (...) I want you to deal with your problems by becoming rich."
"Don't worry, one more surgery and you'll be fine." "Thank God." "Don't make me slap you."

"If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal", then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal"."

“The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.”
"Is it so wrong for them to want to have a normal child? It's normal to want to be normal." "Spoken like a true circle queen. See, skinny, socially privileged white people get to draw this neat little circle. And everyone inside the circle is "normal". Anyone outside the circle needs to be beaten, broken and reset so that they can be brought into the circle. Failing that, they should be institutionalized. Or even worse - Pitied." "So it's wrong to feel sorry for this little boy?" "Why would you feel sorry for someone that gets to opt out of the inane courteous formalities which are utterly meaningless, insincere and therefore degrading? This kid doesn't have to pretend to be interested in your back pain, your secretions or your grandma's itchy place. Imagine how liberating it would be to live a life free of all the mind-numbing social niceties. I don't pity this kid - I envy him."

"the moment you realize that your bones are made of the same dust as the planets, your lungs are breathing the same air as the migrating butterflies, and your blood is pumping because of the love and care of thousands; is when you realize that you are not as broken as you think you are. you are full of the world."
"Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart."
"Richard Feynman used to go up to people all the time and he'd say "You won't believe what happened to me today... you won't believe what happened to me" and people would say "What?" and he'd say "Absolutely nothing". Because we humans believe that everything that happens to us is special and significant. And that — and Carl Sagan wrote beautifully about that in The Demon-Haunted World — that is much of the source of religion. Everything that happens is unusual and I expect that the likelihood that Richard and I ever would've met. If you think about all the variables: the probability that we were in the same place at the same time, ate breakfast the same. Whatever. It's zero. Every event that happens has small probability... but it happens and then when it happens; if it's weird, if you dream one million nights and it's nonsense but one night you dream that your friend is gonna break his leg and the next day he breaks his arm... *sound of revelation* So the real thing that physics tell us about the universe is that it's big, rare event happens all the time — including life — and that doesn't mean it's special."
"The amazing thing is that every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way they could get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.."

"I just wanted to say that I didn't know Thresh, I only spoke to him once. He could have killed me, but instead he showed me mercy. That's a debt I'll never be able to repay. I did know Rue. She wasn't just my ally, she was my friend. I see her in the flowers that grow in the meadow by my house. I hear her in the Mockingjay song. I see her in my sister Prim. She was too young, too gentle and I couldn't save her. I'm sorry."
