I just want the fans of the book to be happy. I don't necessarily care about anyone else.

Beauty is more than just shining for others. You don’t need to have the perfect face to be beautiful. Being ugly or beautiful is a matter of energy, and true beauty comes from the heart.

I've always had an aversion to looking sexy, but I've grown out of it.

I am quite shy and people think I'm aloof.

Nobody lived my life. Nobody cried my tears. So don't judge me.

This wasn't a choice between you and Jacob. It was a choice between who I am and who I should be.

Hate me for who I am, I don't care. At least I'm not pretending to be someone I'm not.

There is something very pleasing about the principles of science and the rules of math, because they are so inevitable and so harmonious - in the abstract, anyway.

Pleasure for others is the only pleasure possible to me. I assure you I'm quite selfish! - I'm greedy for the happiness of those I love - and if they can't or won't be happy I'm perfectly miserable.

If your time is worth anything, travel by air. If not, you might just as well walk.
