“Falling in love is not a rational process. It can't be planned or avoided. It happens--for good or bad it simply happens. - Katrina Svensen”
“Avoiding life, avoiding making any concrete plans for your life--that's just one way you're pretending you can keep bad things from happening to you again.”
“You can't avoid caring for someone for fear that one day something bad will happen. You will only die alone and afraid.”
“Love can't be forced into existence,(...)It won't come simply because you will it to happen”
“If good happens, good; if bad happens, good. ”
“In a life, in any life, bad things happen. Many good things happen, of course, we know what they are-joy, tenderness, success beauty-but some bad things happen as well. Sometimes, very bad things happen. Children sicken and die. People we love don't love us, can never love us.”
