Quotes
I wonder if there's a secret current that connects people who have lost something. Not in the way that everyone loses something, but in the way that undoes your life, undoes your self, so that when you look at your face it isn't yours anymore.
It's a lot easier to be lost than found. It's the reason we're always searching, and rarely discovered--so many locks not enough keys.
I used to think the whole world was broken. Now I know that's not true. The world is only partially broken. It's also partially beautiful.
I don't know what I'm doing here, but I know it's right to be here.
Everything is beautiful and everything hurts.
Sometimes you think you've found love, when it's really just one of those objects that are shiny in a certain light--a trophy, say, or a ring. Then it turns out that you don't love them at all, you love the light.
You can be in love and you can be in love and you can be in love. It's not the easiest thing to be.

I think there's a difference between loving the idea of someone and the actual person.
Sometimes it's the very otherness of a person that makes them the most beautiful.
