“People try to make sense of things, and if they don’t know the answers, they make them up, because for some, a wrong answer is better than none.”

“I’m sick of asking questions everyone else already knows the answers to.”

“I think people can be trusted to know what makes them unhappy. Maybe we don't always know what we want exactly, but we can usually say what we don't with a fair amount of specificity.”

“We’re bound by chains of love, but they don’t weigh us down. Instead, they allow us to be bigger and better than we are.”

“Yeah, sorry. I can't help my genetics. Take your frustration out on me if it'll make you feel better, but don't mess up my pretty face.”

“Yet sometimes being a friend meant letting people do things that hurt, like putting distance between you, just because it made them happy.”

“Is that love? It seems like a pale word, too easily tossed about by people who don’t know the meaning of it, who twist it for their own ends. I’m afraid of it now, right up there with clowns, close spaces, and open flames.”
