“To hide feelings when you are near crying is the secret of dignity.”

“I hate when people do this. I hate when people hide their cards to feel secret and strong. That's no way of dealing with anything.”

“Don't ever feel that you have to hide who you are. Nothing good ever comes from keeping secrets like that.”

“There is no dignity in a crying toothpick.”

“Everybody has a home team: It’s the people you call when you get a flat tire or when something terrible happens. It’s the people who, near or far, know everything that’s wrong with you and love you anyways. These are the ones who tell you their secrets, who get themselves a glass of water without asking when they’re at your house. These are the people who cry when you cry. These are your people, your middle-of-the-night, no-matter-what people.”

“When you feel a peaceful joy, that's when you are near truth.”
