“I was born when she kissed me. I died when she left me. I lived a few weeks while she loved me.”

“Love is all right, as things go, but lovers can be a terrible waste of a girl's time.”

“There is a little boy inside the man who is my brother... Oh, how I hated that little boy. And how I love him too.”

“After night comes day.After death comes life. Even at your darkest time look around because you are never really alone. You are loved. ”
