“It's hard to close the door on optimistic expectations when you love someone.”

“I see the difference now, between loving someone from afar and loving someone up close. When you see them up close, you see the real them, but they also get to see the real you.”

“When you love someone, you hope — the more closely to be attached — that a catastrophe will strike your beloved.”

“Closure isn't closure until someone's ready to close the door.”

“There are no limits when you are surrounded by people who believe in you, or by people whose expectations are not set by the short-sighted attitudes of society, or by people who help to open doors of opportunity, not close them.”

“The only disadvantage of life is to come in contact with someone who does not know when and how to put their self-interest behind the closed doors.”

“Loving's pretty easy. It's letting someone love you that's hard.”

“It's hard to believe how much light you cand find in the darkness, when you have someone who loves you.”

“Well, it's simple to love someone," she said. "But it's hard to know when you need to say it out loud.”

“When someone leaves you once, you expect it to happen again. Eventually you stop getting close enough to people to let them become important to you, because then you don't notice when they drop out of your world.”
