“Sometimes you go through life and the wrong thing happens.”

“I missed him often with a fierce longing, and then sometimes I didn't.”

“You cannot expect life to go wonderfully. Terrible things might not be happening now...but they will. Probably to you. Your job is to accept that and live a nice life anyway.”

“Sometimes the worst thing that happens to you, the thing you think you can't survive...it's the thing that makes you better than you used to be.”

“Sometimes, life is about what happens before death.”

“• The key to fighting is never to fight unless the cause is so great that you couldn’t bear not to defend it and the losses you are going to suffer are things that you could afford to lose. If you do fight, the thing to remember is that it is going to hurt because that is what happens in a fight and you might as well reconcile yourself to it in the beginning and then it will not matter when it happens”

“Here's the thing: No matter where I go, sad things will happen to me, hard things. People I love will die, and sometimes I'll have to tell friends good-bye. I'll meet people who won't like me, and I'll know loneliness. I don't like it, but that's the way it is.”
