- we accept the love we think we deserve.
- i wasn't happy about craig and sam breaking up. not at all. i never once thought that it would mean sam might start liking me. all i cared about was the fact that sam got really hurt. and i guess i realized at that moment that i really did love her. because there was nothing to gain, and that didn't matter.
- and all the books you’ve read have been read by other people. and all the songs you’ve loved have been heard by other people... and you know that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing “unity”.
- the inside jokes weren't jokes anymore. they had become stories.
- there's nothing like the deep breaths after laughing that hard. nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons. it was that great.
- so, this is my life. and i want you to know that i am both happy and sad and i'm still trying to figure out how that could be.
- and in that moment, i felt that we were infinite.
- i know things get worse before they get better, but this is a worse that feels too big.
- if i ever have kids, and they are upset, i won't tell them that people are starving in china or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset.
- i am very interested and fascinated by how everyone loves each other, but no one really likes each other.
- everything can't be about self-esteem, can it?
- so i guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. and maybe we'll never know most of them. but even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. we can still do things. and we can try to feel okay about them.
