“If you never play with fire, then you'll never keep warm.”

“There is no rest for the literary!”

“Where did the time go? Yesterday, I was a girl, and today, I suddenly find myself in the autumn of my years with the cold winds of winter breathing down my neck.”

“If you work now, you'll play later. If you play now, you'll work later.”

“you always have to keep things fun. if you don't, no matter how many awards you win or how much money you make, you will never be happy.”

“Maybe that's the trick. You should never come back. Never go backwards. Never give the past that much hold over you.”

“Wherever I go, I'll always see you. You'll always be with me. And there's no happy ending coming here, no way a story that started on a night that's burned into my heart will end the way I wish it could. You're really gone, no last words, and no matter how many letters I write to you, you're never going to reply. You're never going to say good-bye. So I will. Good-bye, Julia. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for being you.”
