“One of the worst symptoms of HIV is secrecy...if you get HIV? You get secretive. Insular. Paranoid. Your life becomes a giant pretense so no one finds out you have this disease. You don't know what people will do for you because you are too afraid to tell them.”

“Everyone had an ulterior motive in his worldview. Everyone was self-serving and therefore a potential instrument of pain. The world was a lonely, awful, brutal, terrible place.”

“You and your ‘potential’,” I lazily rolled my eyes. “According to you, everyone has it…and no one is living up to it.”

“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. ”
