“The cruelest thing, hope, the way it strings you along, the way it makes you believe.”
“The thing about a story is that you dream it as you tell it, hoping that others might then dream along with you, and in this way memory and imagination and language combine to make spirits in the head. There is the illusion of aliveness.”
“Life is a test of your sanity, and believe me you never make it out without going a little crazy along the way.”
“Hope is a crazy thing. It will make you believe.”
“I shall revenge myself in the cruelest way you can imagine. I shall forget it.”
“The cruelest curse of the disease is also its most sacred promise: You will not feel this way forever.”
