“Let me tell you something about dying: it's not as bad as they says.it's the coming-back-to-life part that hurts.”

“If you ever want something badly, let it go. If it comes back to you, then its yours forever. If it doesnt, then it was never yours to begin with.”

“It's so damn easy to judge. But as Paolo knows from his niece, no matter how much you want someone back in your life, sometimes it's the letting-them-back-in part that hurts the most”

“I make a new discovery that totally blows; dying is the easy part. It's coming back to life that sucks.”

“If you love something let it go.. if it comes back its yours”

“When you want something so bad it hurts,” he said quietly, “and you bury it, bury it so deep that you convince yourself it no longer matters . . . and someone tells you you can have it, it's terrifying. What if you take the chance and you're wrong? What if you let yourself feel the loss and it's this huge pain and you can't put it back in the box?”
