“When you find yourself about to say something that crosses a line, something that could cause irreparable harm, sometimes the best you can do is just not say that thing.”

“Because sometimes when someone is telling you something really important, it’s best to just let there be silence, to really think about what they’re saying. A lot of times people think they have to say something all insightful or wise or something to try and make the person feel better. But really, sometimes silence is best.”

“You know how sometimes you can be going along and do something or say something, and suddenly you *know* yourself? I mean, it's like you're looking at somebody else, and it's just so fucking clear you want to hit something.”

“Sometimes just being still is the best thing you can do for yourself.”

“What was that you were saying just before the food arrived? Something about me... no competition... best thing that ever happened to you...”

“Sometimes, just saying that you hate something, and having someone agree with you, can make you feel better about a terrible situation.”
