“There are just some things you cannot bring yourself to say when you know it will break someone's heart. Sometimes it is easier to carry a burden yourself than to watch their eyes fall.”

“When shit brings you down, just say 'fuck it', and eat yourself some motherfucking candy.”

“Love yourself as yourself. Never work to be someone else. Its too hard to keep up. Life is easier when you love you just as you are.”

“It's easier to lie to yourself when you say things out loud.”

“When you fall in love, you fall in love with yourself, when you kill yourself, you kill someone else.”

“You can make yourself believe that someone can look into your eyes and read your mind. You can wish for it, or dread it. There is no cause for either. As long as you carry your words inside, they are safe. You are the sole keeper. But sometimes that is a terrible curse, Adam. Those unformed words take on an enormous weight. Sometimes the burden of them becomes more than you can carry. For me it did. I simply had to share it. And Angela came to me. (238)”
