“This is the trap of having something to live for:Everything else seems lifeless.”

“I resent that the hours seem boring now, emptier. Going through the motions gives you plenty of time to examine the motions. I used to find this interesting. Now it has taken on the taint of meaninglessness. [...] This is the trap of having something to live for: Everything else seems lifeless.”

“The secret to living long is to have something to live for.”

“That no matter what i did, I would always be missing something else. And the only way to live, the only way to be happy, was to make sure the things I didn't miss meant more to me than the things I missed.”

“I just needed to realize that style was like personality - it didn't always have to be consistent; it just had to be something you lived with.”

“We always loved to say 'If I'd had a Monday-morning class, I never would have met you'. Or 'If you'd been reading something else, none of this would have happened'. We didn't believe in fate, but we believed in serendipity. We felt very lucky.”

“It felt a littlel less like a game. A trick. A trap. <\STRIKE>”
