“It's easy to remember only the good parts of people if you never see them. Real people are much more complicated.”

“Sometimes people don't answer because they didn't hear you, Other times it's because they don't want to hear you!”

“One problem with agreeing to keep a secret is that it always starts off feeling like an easy, little decision. But it doesn't stay easy or little. it sits there like one of those jagged ledges hiding under the surface of the ocean at high tide—quietly waiting to rip everything apart if you forget, for even a second, it's there.”

“Just because other people think something, that doesn't make it true.Maybe there's some truth in that, but it's unsatisfying, bitter-tasting truth.”

“People say it's better to know the truth, but what if the ending's a bad one? Is it still better to know? Or is it kinder to keep that string of hope dangling? To believe that maybe if you just wait long enough, everything could still end the way you want.”

“Some people think they know who you are, when really they don't.”

“Just this once, let it be easy.”
