“The perfect neighbour lives next door to someone else.”

“...being Lulu, it made me realize that all my life I've been living in a small, square room, with no windows and no doors. And I was fine. I was happy, even. I thought. Then someone came along and showed me there was a door in the room. One that I'd never even seen before. Then he opened it for me. Held my hand as I walked through it. And for one perfect day, I was on the other side. I was somewhere else. Someone else. And then he was gone, and I was thrown back into my little room. And now, no matter what I do, I can't seem to find that door.”

“Be prepared for the worst, my love, for it lives next door to the best.”

“I know you aren't perfect. But it's a person's imperfections that make them perfect for someone else.”

“If you carry someone else's fears and live by someone else's values, you may find that you have lived their lives.”

“Nobody has a perfect life and it's entirely possible that if you want someone else's life they are busy wanting someone else's too–maybe even yours.”
