I blame Hollywood for skewing perspectives. Life is just a big romantic comedy to them, and if you meet cute, happily ever-after is a forgone conclusion.

I’m living in separate universes, and I have no idea where I actually belong.

I loved her for so long. Our past trails behind us like a comet's tail, the future stretched out before us like the universe. Things happen. People get lost and love breaks.

I may not be old but I’m too old to have this much nothing

Everyone always wants to know how you can tell when it's true love, and the answer is this: when the pain doesn't fade and the scars don't heal, and it's too damned late.

Sometimes it’s heartbreaking to see your siblings as the people they’ve become. Maybe that’s why we all stay away from each other as a matter of course.

It would be a terrible mistake to go through life thinking that people are the sum total of what you see.

Even under the best of circumstances, there's just something so damn tragic about growing up.

You lost your wife, Douglas. My heartbreaks for you, it really does. But I lose my husband every day, all over again. And I don’t even get to mourn.

I've never been shot, but this probably what it feels like, that second of nothingness right before the pain catches up to the bullet.

Pity, I've learned, is like a fart. You can tolerate your own, but you simply can't stand anyone else's.

Remember no man is really defeated unless he is discouraged.

...you don't need a calling to minister love...

The most aggravating thing about the younger generation is that I no longer belong to it.

When you think of Buddhism, you're likely to think of peace and tranquility.

Sometimes I feel like I'm a contestant in a reality show that probably would be called The Apprentice Survivor Millionaire.

I prefer that Argentina wins the World Cup. Messi deserves it for all he has done in football. He's my friend, I wish him the best

When I write I just keep a waste paper basket handy in case I am experiencing a block.

I never knew how much love and pride I would feel.

Information is light. Information in itself, about anything, is light.

I see the human in everyone and everything. No one is more important than anyone else; I still hang out with my high school friends.
