“Maybe all the strings inside him broke.”

“Luck is for suckers.”

“Y'all smoke to enjoy it. I smoke to die.”

“My thoughts are stars I can’t fathom into constellations.”

“You gave me forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”

“You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, old man, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices. I hope she likes hers.”

“So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.”

“It hurt like the worst ass-kicking he'd ever gotten. And he'd gotten plenty.”

“So often we try to make other people feel better by minimizing their pain, by telling them that it will get better (which it will) or that there are worse things in the world (which there are). But that's not what I actually needed. What I needed was for someone to tell me that it hurt because it mattered.”

“Maybe there's something you're afraid to say, or someone you're afraid to love, or somewhere you're afraid to go.
It's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt because it matters.”

“I've always liked quiet people: You never know if they're dancing in a daydream or if they're carrying the weight of the world.”

“You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world… but you do have a say in who hurts you.”
