“A real friend isn't capable of feeling sorry for you.”

“Never apologize for what you feel. It’s like saying sorry for being real.”

“Saying what you really feel isn't being rude. It's called being real.”

“If you can eat with mates or friends or family, I mean, it's such a brilliant thing isn't it? If you feel really rubbish and you have a nice bit of food it makes you feel good, you know?”

“Stop feeling sorry for yourself and you will be happy.”

“Little kids are that way; they feel if their parents aren't watching what they do then what they do isn't real.”

“The problem isn't how you feel, it's that you don't feel SAFE to feel how you feel.”

“But I don't feel sad about it. Because Mother is dead. And because Mr. Shears isn't around anymore. So I would be feeling sad about something that isn't real and doesn't exist. And that would be stupid.”

“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself-and especially to feel, or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.”

“I'm sorry you seem so stung,and I'm sorry you feel you have to hold your tonguewhen you're so pretty and smart<BR”
