“Your heartbreak is just another version of the same old story.”
“Everyone’s got a version of the same story, or maybe there’s no such thing as the same story; it’s a different story every time.”
“Of course it's the same old story. Truth usually is the same old story.”
“--There you are. The sight of the changing world is miraculous and heartbreaking, both at the same time.--But so it is for me too. The heartbreaking side of growing old is not in the things around one but in oneself.”
“people don't really want original stories. they want different versions of the same story. this is called meta-narrative.”
“Jealousy always trumps schadenfreude! It’s a rule from the heartbreak version of ‘rock, paper, scissors.”
