“It's different to miss somebody when they're still alive. When they die it's like, 'Okay, I'm sad.' You're supposed to be sad. When they just go away, when they disappear, that's a different thing.”

“The saddest kind of sad is the sad that tries not to be sad. You know, when sad tries to bite its lip and not cry, and smile and say, "No I'm happy for you"? Thats when it's really sad...”

“Come now, don't make such a funeral face. It isn't dying that's sad; it's living when you're not happy.”

“I don't feel so sad when somebody dies, Julio, because they fly away to explore the stars and planets. When it's our turn we join them in exploring the universe.”

“if you think of a relationship as a living entity, I guess it's one thing if the missing two percent is, like, a fingernail. But when it's the heart, that's a whole different ball of wax.”

“In a way, it's nice to know there are Greek gods out there, because you have somebody toblame when things go wrong. For instance, when you're walking away from a bus that's just beenattacked by monster hags and blown up by lightning, and it's raining on top of everything else.”
