“It's the hardest thing in the world to go on being aware of someone else's pain.”
“It's the hardest thing in the world to put yourself in someone else's place, try to really feel what they feel, figure out why they do the things they do. Especially when it's easier to stick a label on something. Or someone.”
“The hardest thing in the world is believing someone can change. It's always easier to go along with the way things are than to admit that you might have been wrong in the first place.”
“In the end it's the pain of being replaceable that turns out to be the hardest to bear.”
“Trust me, it's the weight of someone else's expectation that's the hardest to lose.”
“There's a hazardous sadness to the first sounds of someone else's work in the morning; it's as if stillness experiences pain in being broken.”
