“You can only move if you are actually in the moment. You have to be where you are to get where you need to go.”

“One thing I've learned about people is that the easiest way to get them to like you is to shut up and let them do the talking.”
― Jesse Andrews, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

“Basically, my point is not that you listen to people to learn anything listening. You're doing it to be nice and make them like you, because everyone likes to talk.”
― Jesse Andrews, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

“Hopefully as you get older, you start to learn how to live with your demon. It’s hard at first. Some people give their demon so much room that there is no space in their head or bed for love. They feed their demon and it gets really strong and then it makes them stay in abusive relationships or starve their beautiful bodies. But sometimes, you get a little older and get a little bored of the demon. Through good therapy and friends and self-love you can practice treating the demon like a hacky, annoying cousin. Maybe a day even comes when you are getting dressed for a fancy event and it whispers, “You aren’t pretty,” and you go, “I know, I know, now let me find my earrings.” Sometimes you say, “Demon, I promise you I will let you remind me of my ugliness, but right now I am having hot sex so I will check in later.”
