I'm a novelist first, and I wrote a bunch of books, and everything I write, I just find people are more interesting when there's an element of humor to it.

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.

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.

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

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.

It seems only yesterday I used to believe there was nothing under my skin but light. If you cut me I could shine.

There is no practice more dangerous than that of borrowing money

If something's important to you, you make time for it.

Hindi naman ako mataba eh. In fact I'm so sexy that it overflows.

Sincerity is a soul quality that God has given to every human being, but not all express it.

It's better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a terrific cost.

The main human problems often are that we misidentify what will make us happy; and we ask people and things to save us beyond their ability.

Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'
