“Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it, I must listen to my life telling me who I am.”

“How can I expect readers to know who I am if I do not tell them about my family, my friends, the relationships in my life? Who am I if not where I fit in the world, where I fit in the lives of the people dear to me?”

“What do you want from me?" he asks.What I want from every person in my life, I want to tell him.More.”

“I tell these stories because I have lied about my life to people who have been kind to me and I am tired of lying. I tell it because I don't want people to think that I have fucked up my life over and over just because I was in a bad mood.”

“Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two my life flows.”

“I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can't find anybody who can tell me what they want.”
