“Loneliness is not a punishment, but a choice. A choice that simply shows you who stays, when you stop being useful.”

“Then you've made the only choice. But there's a penalty attached, as there is to most things you want. It's loneliness.”

“There is no choice more intensely personal, after all, than whom you choose to marry; that choice tells us, to a large extent, who you are.”

“When we have a choice it is always best to choose kindness. Veganism is simply the kinder choice.”

“To recognize you are the source of your own loneliness is not a cure for it. But it is a step toward seeing that it is not inevitable, and that such a choice is not irrevocable.”

“Cause there's a time when you're right
And you know you must fight,
Who's laughing, baby? Don't you know?
And there's a choice that we make,
And a choice you must take,
Who's laughing, baby?”

“If loneliness was a choice, what was the other option? To settle for second-best and try to be happy with that? And was that fair to the person you settled for?”

“When you have to make a choice and don't make it, that is in itself a choice.”

“When you love someone, you don't have a choice. Love takes your choices away.”

“There are no choices without personal freedom, Buckeroo. It's not us who are dead inside. These things you find so weak and contemptible in us - these are just the hazards of being free”
