“For the first time, I don't feel the giant hands pressing around my heart. Instead, I feel weightless, as if someone has untied a knot inside me and I am slowly unfolding.”

“There is so much we can't know by merely grazing the surface. We have to reach further in.”

“I will not give up on you, Oliver. Sometimes the love we build is meant to survive.”

“If they built a love to withstand time, why did it crumble?”

“The train might just as well have been a plane, something with wings. I felt suspended above everything: the city, time, the hard, cold edges of the world. It was fleeing, but it's a memory I can still feel.”

“He asked me if i really knew what i was doing. I never answered, because I'm not sure we ever really know what we are doing. We feel things in our hearts, make decisions, hear voices in our heads that tells us what to do, but in the end we never know how things will turn out.”

“It's like when you love someone so much you are blind to their flaws.”

“It's lame when you try so hard to get what you want, and then when you get it, you realize you need something else even harder to get.”

“I could have died right there, because the thought of living without someone you love is like a pair of giant hands pressing around your heart, making it smaller and smaller, until you are left with only a memory of warmth. It’s like when the sun comes through a window, moving across the room with each hour, until night falls and all you can do is try to remember the soothing shapes it made.”

“Never let anyone take away the choices in your heart, it's what makes you one of a kind”

“I want to believe that even though the world's edges have become harder, I maybe be able to find a warm, soft place in it.”

“My mother told me that truth is like my skin, a beautiful, protective covering, and the things that people say or do can be easily changed or discarded. She told me truth comes from the heart.”

“Losing someone is like when the sun comes through a window, moving across the room with each hour, until night falls and all you can do is try to remember the soothing shapes it made.”
