“Sometimes it's a form of love just to talk to somebody that you have nothing in common with and still be fascinated by their presence.”

“Because sometimes love just needs a witness... Somebody to testify. Sometimes love just needed somebody to step forward and say, Here I am, Spirit. Send me.”

“...sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself...”

“Real love still happens sometimes. It's not just something we make up when you're nine. I have to believe that. You do too.”

“It's like people you see sometimes, and you can't imagine what it would be like to be that person, whether it's somebody in a wheelchair or somebody who can't talk. Only, I know that I'm that person to other people, maybe to every single person in that whole auditorium. To me, though, I'm just me. An ordinary kid.”

“But it's the same with all my friends, just fun and joking, nothing more. I can never bring myself to talk of anything outside the common round.”
