“fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.”

“If you've never known someone your own age who's died, you can't imagine what it feels like. It's as if you were walking on a glass floor and it suddenly shatters and now you're falling and falling and there's broken glass in the air all around you and no bottom in sight.”

“The story you are about to read is a work of fiction. Nothing - and everything - about it is real.”

“Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on you for tripping me as I run away.”

“There's more to life then living, so hold on.”
