“O Crisóstomo disse ao Camilo: todos nascemos filhos de mil pais e de mais mil mães, e a solidão é sobretudo a incapacidade de ver qualquer pessoa como nos pertencendo, para que nos pertença de verdade e se gere um cuidado mútuo. Como se os nossos mil pais e mais as nossas mil mães coincidissem em parte, como se fôssemos por aí irmãos, irmãos uns dos outros. Somos o resultado de tanta gente, de tanta história, tão grandes sonhos que vão passando de pessoa a pessoa, que nunca estaremos sós.”

“Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don't believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it's good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason.”

“In the time since the Baudelaire parents' death, most of the Baudelaire orphans' friends had fallen by the wayside, an expression wich here means "they stopped calling, writing, and stopping by to see any of the Baudelaires, making them lonely". You and I, of course, would never do this to any of our grieving acquaintances, but it is a sad truth that when someone has lost a loved one, friends sometimes avoid the person, just when the presence of friends is most needed.”
