“Or in other words, it's the substance you've got when you start that determines the outcome.”

“Just when you think you've got your life by the reins, that's when it's most likely to run away with you.”

“Infatuation's just another word for not seeing clearly. When you start to love a person- that's when they become real”

“What if instead of focusing on what you don't have, you concentrate on what you've got?”

“Do you know what it's like to love someone so much, that you can't see yourself without picturing her? Or what it's like to touch someone, and feel like you've come home? What we had wasn't about sex, or about being with someone just to show off what you've got, the way it was for other kids our age. We were, well, meant to be together. Some people spend their whole lives looking for that one person. I was lucky enough to have her all along.”

“I know how difficult it can be when the image you've had of something doesn't match its reality; when the friend beside you turns into a monster.”

“You know, he told me once, completely exasperated, you've got one glass of water inside your head, with all the tears for a lifetime. If you waste them over nothing, then you won't be able to cry for real when you need to.”
