“I wanted him to be happy and it was also going to be the thing that hurt the most”

“Oh, Papa, I've done something terribly silly. I've fallen in love with someone, and he loves another. The strange thing is, as much as it hurts, I only want him to be happy. And if she'll make him happy, I want him to have her.”

“I want to hurt the man who hurt me. I want to destroy him for destroying me. And I won’t be happy, I won’t be free, until I do so.”

“It hurts to look at the clouds, but it also helps, like most things that cause pain.”

“There were things I wanted to tell him. But I knew they would hurt him. So I buried them, and let them hurt me.”

“You’re weird. I thought brothers were supposed to pretend their sisters were sexless.”…“I’m your brother, not an idiot. If he hurts you, I’ll crush him, but I want you to be happy. You want him and that’s enough for me.”
