“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.”

“You don't deserve to be lonely,but those drugs you got won't make you feel better. Pretty soon you'll find it's the only little part of your life you're keeping together.”

“As long as you find something beautiful, good, and true to believe in and abide by, you have the equivalent of God in your life.”

“Anyone who falls in love is searching for missing pieces of themselves. So anyone who's in love gets sad when they think of their lover. It's like stepping back inside a room you have fond memories of, one you haven't seen in a long time. It's just a natural feeling. You're not the person who discovered that feeling, so don't go trying to patent it, okay?”

“You’re in total isolation. And you don’t know how long you’re going to be there, but you truly believe they can do anything to you. There’s no way to even question it. You’re not protected by anything. Why am I here? Your mind is very uncertain of time. You become like mad. It’s very hard for anyone. Even for people who have strong beliefs.”

“But as long as you remember what you have seen, then nothing is gone. As long as you remember, it is part of this story we have together.”

“Part of the beauty of love was that you didn’t need to explain it to anyone else. You couldto explain. With love, apparently you didn’t necessarily feel the need to explain anything at all.”

“Your beautiful don't let anyone tell you different”

“Never let anyone's opinion or perception of you convince you that you're someone you're not. Keep your head up.”

“Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.”
