“If you find you require willpower, you aren't ready to lose weight.”

“This is how you survive the unsurvivable, this is how you lose that which you cannot bear to lose, this is how you reinvent yourself, overcome your abusers, fulfill your ambitions and meet the love of your life: by following what is true, no matter where it leads you.”

“I think I love him, but I also think that you can love people who aren't good for you.”

“This is what you should know about losing someone you love. They do not travel alone. You go with them.”

“You would be amazed by what you can give up, lose, or break, and yet still be a person who gets happy over brownies.”

“look for the ridiculous in everything and you will find it”

“If you meet somebody and they love you when you are your true, awful, not-ready-yet, boring, not cool enough, not handsome enough, not pretty enough, too fat, too poor self? And if you love them back so much it makes you calm? And they have flaws and you do not mind a single one of them? That means you get yourself to the church and you pull one of those priests out of bed and you have him cast one of those wedding spells on you. If you’re gay and this happens, you might have to rent a car first and drive to one of the states that operates a few hours ahead. Because if you found that, you found it.”
