“That's the human heart for you -- whatever you flee, that's the thing you are looking for.”
“Embrace one another with courage. Search each other's hearts for hidden suffering and never flee what you discover! That's the ticket!”
“That's what it means to die, to not be able to stop looking at whatever's in front of you. Some darn thing placed directly there, with nothing you can do about it...”
“...If you can look at somebody and say, 'I never loved you, you were a mistake,' that's one thing. But if you look at him and say, 'You were everything and I poisoned it because I wouldn't stand up for myself,' that's hard. That's too hard...”
“When you're wrecked, that's the only thing you can do, right? Hold on to whatever you can. Hold on hard.”
“Hearts are fragile things. That's why you have to be so careful.”
