“When you decide to hit rock bottom, humiliation is part of the deal.”

“You'll stop hurting when you stop hoping.”

“Some say that you know real love when you realise the only person in the world who can console you is the one who has hurt you.”

“On calm days, you always think you've conquered them. You think that in the end you've finally done them in.That you've got rid of them for good, now and forever.But that seldom happens.Most of the time, the demons are still there, lurking somewhere in the shadows.Tirelessly waiting for the moment when our guard drops.And when love goes away...”

“The whirlwind of lifeIt was true. Sometimes life was like that, a wonderful whirlwind that fills us with joy, like a ride on a merry-go-round when we are children. A whirlwind of love and drunkenness when you sleep in someones arms, in a tiny bed, getting up for breakfast at midday because you've spent the morning making love. But sometimes a whirlwind destroys things, like a violent typhoon that tries to drag us down, when we have been caught by the storm, when we realize that we have to face the tempest alone. And we are afraid.”

“When it comes to books and friends, it is best to have only a few but all good ones.”

“As long as you remember the person who loved you, and whom you still love, then you're making love endure.”
