But the absolute worst was when people asked if I was okay. Because then I had to admit that it was real, it happened, and we weren't together anymore.

The stupid thing about anger is how people hurt you and then you let them keep hurting you by being angry about how they originally hurt you. It’s a vicious cycle.

No one can be everything you want them to be.

I'd rather be weird and happy than normal and miserable.

This body is yours. It is your home. The keeper of your soul. The resting place of your spirit. No one can ever take that away.

It’s unbelievable how you can affect someone else so deeply and never know.

If you see someone being bullied, make it stop. Why is that so hard for us to do?

I do not accept drinks from disapproving gentlemen.

But the law of loving others could not be discovered by reason, because it is unreasonable.

In my old age, I was at last being permitted to make the discovery that lovemaking gets better and better with time, if it's with someone you care for.

We both can be the most beautiful and benevolent creatures on the planet, but then there's another side that can be as harsh and as ugly as the darkest thing you could imagine seeing.
