“I liked things better when I didn't understand them.”

“I would like to understand things better, but I don’t want to understand them perfectly.”

“The thing with Rubik's cubes, sometimes you make them worse when you try to fix them. I didn't want to make her worse, and I also didn't know how to make her better.”

“And who says you always have to understand things? You can like them without understanding them -- like 'em better sometimes.”

“And that is when I know....that is when I understand that it's better to feel the ache inside me like demons scratching at my heart than it is to feel numb the way a dead body feels when you touch it. It's better to wait for the beautiful things...to stare at them for as long as they last..to hold on as tight as you can before they disappear. And it might hurt so bad inside...but it's better to wait for the next beautiful thing than never look for any again.”

“I do not like odd things until I can understand them.”
