“Most people don’t know how to appreciate the silence. They can’t help talking.”

“But what I mean is, lots of time you don’t know what interests you most till you start talking about something that doesn’t interest you most. I mean you can’t help it sometimes.”

“Actually that’s my secret — I can’t even talk about you to anybody because I don’t want any more people to know how wonderful you are.”

“But the thing I’m finding out is some people don’t really appreciate it when you’r trying to be helpful.”

“Some people can’t keep fighting. Some people want to escape. Some people are not ready—are not able—to find a way to deal with what’s in front of them. Sometimes there’s no one to help them. Sometimes they don’t know how to ask for help. Sometimes it feels like there’s no choice but to end it. No other way out. And sometimes it’s impossible to see past that.”

“Most people can’t stomach silence; it provides too much opportunity to think about things they prefer to avoid.”
