“It’s a terrible thing, being afraid. It’s like an illness; like wanting to fall down, and not being able to faint. You see you never get used to it. You live with it and live with it and every day it’s worse; and one day it’s the worst of all. I thought, when it…happened, I wouldn’t be afraid. But I was wrong….”

“No one is afraid of heights, they're afraid of falling down. No one is afraid of saying I love you, they're afraid of the answer…”

“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.”

“What are you afraid of then?
Not Being able to see, I think not seeing because your obsessed by something that blots out the world.”

“Ill-fitting grammar are like ill-fitting shoes. You can get used to it for a bit, but then one day your toes fall off and you can't walk to the bathroom.”

“A thing that you see in my pictures is that I was not afraid to fall in love with these people.”

“I don't want our relationship to end like this. You're one of the very few friends I have, and it hurts not being able to see you. When am I going to be able to talk to you? I want you to tell me that much, at least.”

“I was afraid of being rejected, yes. I was also afraid of being accepted for the wrong reasons.”

“You see they could never, never understand that I live like I do because that's the way I want to live.”

“Every day when I wake I tell myself that it will be my last. If you are not trying to hold on to time, you are not so afraid of losing it… And then, if you make it to bedtime, you feel the joy of cheating death out of one more day.”
