“It is, I think, that we are all so alone in what lies deepest in our souls, so unable to find the words, and perhaps the courage to speak with unlocked hearts, that we don't know at all that it is the same with others.”

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”

“How can we understand good if we don't know bad and evil? Perhaps therein lies the mystery of human existence. How will the Truth reveal itself. So that people think, that in order to find the truth, humans have to test the true quality of goodness. Because, only from kindness, we will find the real truth.”

“It is our duty never to speak ill of others, you know; least of all when we know that to do so will be the cause of much pain and trouble.”

“I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night.”

“Why should we faint and fear to live alone,
Since all alone, so Heaven has willed, we die?
Nor even the tenderest heart, and next our own,
Knows half the reasons why we smile and sigh.”

“We teach them to speak and also to listen. Because when people only talk and don't listen, they end up thinking that what they say is the only thing that is worth anything. … Speaking and listening to words is how we know who we are, where we come from, and where our steps are going. Also it's how we know about others, their steps, and their world. Speaking and listening to words is like listening to life.”

“We are so used to releasing words. We don't know what to do with them if they stay.”

“Because we want the same happiness
We keep carving the same wounds onto our hearts.
Forever, forever
So I won't forget you
I call you over and over again
Please don't cry any more
I won't leave you alone.”

“We need to know ourselves better so that we can realize what we really want in our life. I think that the first condition for a person to be in a successful relationship is to be happy with the person he or she is, in other words to love themselves.”
