“True love means that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be.”

Cause it's impossible to be happy all the time, to have a happy whole life, but you can be happy in bursts: with a really good hug you could be happy for...for half an hour maybe, and then that would be the best way, not to waste your time trying to get permanently happy, but just the next half-hour you are happy for, well immediately after, just fucking kill yourself.”

“The severing of an established connection is exponentially more painful than the rejection of an attempted connection.”
