“This is love if it's not with you, a terrible fiery something that makes people look away, and it feels like a punch in the throat.”

“She’s fiery for sure. I like a little fire. Makes me feel at home.”

“There are people who are very resourceful, at being remorseful,And who apparently feel that the best way to make friends is to do something terrible and then make amends.”

“Well, see, I think it's that most people don't like that lonely feeling. People don't like looking up and feeling small or lost. That's what I think prayer is all about. It doesn't matter which stories they believe in, they're all doing the same thing, kind of casting a line out to outer space, like there's something out there to connect to. It's like people make themselves part of something bigger that way, and maybe it makes them less afraid.”

“Love shouldn't make you feel like that. It should be as natural as breathing. It should happen between two people because it grew there out of something beautiful.”

“If you say “I don't read” like it's something to be proud of, punch yourself in the face repeatedly.”
