“It seems that I'm very good at negotiating having safe sex, but I actually have no idea how to ask if we can stop,”

“I'm not good at having friends. I mean, I can make myself useful to people. I can fit in. I get invited to parties and I can sit at any table I want in the cafeteria.But actually trusting someone when they have nothing to gain from me just doesn't make sense.All friendships are negotiations of power.”

“Good ideas rarely seem like good ideas at their inception, that's what stops the majority of people from having them”

“It's just that I'm fifteen, and I have this crazy idea I might actually have a life in front of me. I don't see how it's going to do me much good to believe that the world is over and this is just an epilogue.”

“I know I have to stop. We all have to stop. Funny how knowing something's a bad idea doesn't make a difference.”

“I hear Jesus telling us to stop negotiating with Him, to stop offering something we think we have in exchange for His blessings.”
