“Being a writer means crying over the sad parts, even though you already know it’s going to be okay.”

“Everything's going to be okay, even though it's all terribly wrong.”

“I still don't think it's pathetic to cry over someone. It just means you care about them deeply and you're sad.”

“It's okay to be sad. Everyone gets sad now and then. Even me.”

“Even today, romantic love is just not part of my life. And you know what? That's okay with me.”

“It's everybody, I mean. Everything everybody does is so — I don't know — not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless and — sad-making. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you're conforming just as much only in a different way.”

“I cry a lot-I don't know why, but it just helps me. I cry over bad and good stuff-sometimes sadness can be beautiful”

“You’re not going to cry, are you?
- I am not going to cry! Not over you. Not in a thousand years.”

“But what I hope most of all is that you understand what I mean when I tell you that even though I do not know you, and even though I may never meet you, laugh with you, cry with you, or kiss you. I love you. With all my heart, I love you.”

“No human being can be immune to boasting. Even pretending you aren't bragging is already part of bragging.”
