“you get through terrible things trying to make them better for other people”

“People try to make sense of things, and if they don’t know the answers, they make them up, because for some, a wrong answer is better than none.”

“Apathetic people sit back and wait for things to get better before they move. Radical people make things get better, by how they move.”

“And the funny thing was if you made the best of it, if you smiled through every storm, the bad things were never as terrible as you expected them to be, and the good things were better than anything you could have wished for yourself.”

“It was a haunting feeling, the sort of sensation you get when you wonder whether you are two people, the other of which does things you can't explain, bad and terrible things.”

“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”
