“And in the end, do you ever truly know for sure if you're lovable? What a question. You don't. You can't. Of course not. Life never hands out the answers like that. But maybe that's not even the right question. Maybe love isn't a judgement you render-but a chance you take. Maybe it isn't something you choose to do-over and over. For yourself. And everyone else. Because love isn't like fame. It's not something other people bestow upon you. It's not something that comes from outside. Love is something you do. love is something you generate. And loving other people really does turn out, in the end, to be a genuine way of loving yourself.”

“Crazy meant bold, daring, fearless. It was a radiant word endowed with virtue and supernatural strength. For years, I wanted to be called crazy too.”

“You watch someone date all these people, and you see how different they are with each of them, and then you watch them choose. Some people choose the person they have the best chemistry with, or that they have the most fun with, and some choose the one they think will make an amazing father, or who they've felt the safest opening up to. It's fascinating. How so much of love is about who you are with someone.”

“What I wanted to tell you is that there are lots of ways to love people and I know that you'll love someone else again. Even if it's not the same, some of it might be better.”
