    “The words you can’t find, you borrow.
    We read to know we’re not alone. We read because we are alone. We read and we are not alone. We are not alone.
    My life is in these books, he wants to tell her. Read these and know my heart.
    We are not quite novels.

    In the end, we are collected works.”

    “It is the secret fear that we are unlovable that isolates us,” the passage goes, “but it is only because we are isolated that we think we are unlovable. Someday, you do not know when, you will be driving down a road. And someday, you do not know when, he, or indeed she, will be there. You will be loved because for the first time in your life, you will truly not be alone. You will have chosen to not be alone.”
