“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act.

It's got to happen inside first.”

I wanted the open road and new beginnings every day.”

“No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater...The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that's the key. It's like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot.”

“Dónde está el niño que yo fui,
Sigue adentro de mí o se fue?
Sabe que no lo quise nunca
Y que tampoco me quería?

Creciendo para separarnos?
Por qué no morimos los dos
Cuándo mi infancia se murió?
Y si el alma se me cayó
Por qué me sigue el esqueleto?”
― Pablo Neruda, The Book of Questions
