“If you never go out on that limb, you're missing a hell of a view.”

“You're unwilling to go out on a limb because it just might break underneath you.”

“Mistakes are like the memories you hide in an attic: old love letters from relationships that tanked, photos of dead relatives, toys from a childhood you miss. Out of sight is out of mind, but somewhere deep inside you know they still exist. And you also know that you're avoiding them.”

“You can miss a person you've never known.”

“When you don't fit in, you become superhuman. You can feel everyone else's eyes on you, stuck like Velcro. You can hear a whisper about you from a mile away. You can disappear, even when it looks like you're still standing right there. You can scream, and nobody hears a sound.You become the mutant who fell into the vat of acid, the Joker who can't remove his mask, the bionic man who's missing all his limbs and none of his heart.You are the thing that used to be normal, but that was so long ago, you can't even remember what it was like. ”

“You might have to lose control before you could find out what you'd been missing.”

“Maybe you had to leave in order to miss a place; maybe you had to travel to figure out how beloved your starting point was.”
