“Once you've been backstage at a theater, the theater is never the same for you. Once you've noticed the crack in the vase, the vase is never the same for. Once you've seen a friend do something appalling, the friendship is never the same. That does not mean you won't go to the theater, or keep the vase or the friend. You can choose.”
“Trust is like a vase...once it's broken, though it can be fixed the vase will never be the same”
“In the morning, when the nothing vase casts a something shadow, like the memory of someone you've lost, what can you say about that?”
“Let me tell you something, Mari. The ground we stand on looks solid enough, but if something happens it can drop right out from under you. And once that happens, you've had it: things'll never be the same. All you can do is go on, living alone down there in the darkness...”
“A mirror is like a friendship, once its broken you can never look at it the same again”
“Once you've seen a solution to the disease that's tearing you apart, relapsing is never fun.”
