“How to seperate the humiliation from the loss, that's the catch. You can never be sure if what tortures you is the pain of being without someone you love or the embarrassment of admitting that you have been rejected.”

“The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.”

“To act, you must know pain. You must know what it means to be in love, what it means to be rejected.”

“You couldn't have strength without weakness, you couldn't have light without dark, you couldn't have love without loss”

“I want to talk about love. Loving someone…I mean really loving someone…means you are willing to admit that the person you love is not what you first fell in love with, not the image you first had; and you must be able to like them still for being as close to that image as they are, and avoid disliking them for being so far away.”

“Sometimes, when you catch someone unaware at just the right time and in just the right light, you can catch sight of what they will be.”

“It is stupid to grieve for the loss of a girl friend: you might never have met her, so you can do without her.”

“Tamaki: Having the courage to be able to admit what you love… enjoying what you love… and being true to yourself… Isn't that also what it means to be strong?”

“What is it like when you lose someone you love?" Jane asked.
"You die, too. And you wait around for your body to catch up.”

“When you love someone, the best thing you can offer is your presence. How can you love if you are not there?”
