“Sometimes life has a cruel sense of humor, giving you the thing you always wanted at the worst time possible.”

“I mean, is ‘fat’ really the worst thing a human being can be? Is ‘fat’ worse than ‘vindictive’, ‘jealous’, ‘shallow’, ‘vain’, ‘boring’ or ‘cruel’? Not me.”

“Love can make even nice people do awful things.”

“I want you to remember what was good in me, not what was most awful. The people you love should be allowed to keep their worst to themselves.”

“That was the problem with loving people: it made you weak. It made you need them. It made the thought of not having them the worst thing in the world.”

“Human beings can be awful cruel to one another.”

“I used to think the worst feeling in the world is losing someone you love. But I was wrong the worst feeling in the world is the moment that you realize you've lost yourself.”

“Human beings betray their worst failings when they marvel to find that a world ruler is neither foolishly indolent, presumptuous, nor cruel.”

“The worst thing about jealousy is how low it makes you reach.”
