“Everyone wanted answers I wasn't ready to give.”

“Everyone absolutely knows what a strawberry tastes like, even if you are allergic to them. Everyone absolutely knows what the toilet flushing sounds like. Everyone absolutely scratches their mosquito bites. And I know that I was absolutely ready to die. This wasn't a cry for help. I didn't want to be saved. I was ready to call it quits. Done. Terminado.”

“I didn't really want to die; I just wasn't ready to live. I was merely surviving...one reluctant heartbeat at a time.”

“I want you. I want only you. I want all of you. But I'll take whatever you're ready to give.”

“Why is everyone being all quiet?" the Kid asks. "Are we having a staring contest? If so, you should have told me because I wasn't quite ready yet.”

“I like to think the world wasn't ready for me, but maybe the truth is that I wasn't ready for the world. I've always arrived too late for my life.”
