“I hate to admit this, but some days hearing about other people's problems actually cheers me up.”

“That was other thing I hated about kids; they always said the exact things that deep down you already knew, would never admit, and most certainly never wanted to hear.”

“The idea that I can't share my problems with other people makes me not give a shit about their problems.”

“The other day I went to a tourist information booth and asked, 'Tell me about some of the people who were here last year.”

“Point is, maybe some people wouldn't want to be around me all day, but there are people out there who would. And they're smart and funny. And they like some of the same things I like and hate some of the things I hate, but they also introduce me to all kinds of new things. That's as close to 'meant to be' as I can imagine.”

“I admit," I said, "that a second murder in a book often cheers things up." - Hastings”
