“Not knowing, he said, is a thousand times more horrible than facing your fear.”
― Jodi Picoult, Lone Wolf

“You're not telling me anything I don't know already. 'Relax your body, and the rest of you will ligthen up.' What's the point of saying that to me? If I relaxed my body now, I'd fall apart. I've always lived like this, and its' the only way I know how to go on living. If I relaxed for a second, I'd never find my way back. I'd go to pieces, and the pieces would be blown away. Why can't you see that? How can you talk about watching over me if you can't see that?”
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

“That what one person sees as a difference of opinion can be, to the other person, a sign of great disrespect.”
― Jodi Picoult, Lone Wolf

“You can blame your ugliness for keeping people at bay, when in reality you're crippled by the thought of letting another person close enough to potentially scar you even more deeply. You can tell yourself that it's safer to love someone who will never really love you back, because you can't lose someone you never had.”
― Jodi Picoult, The Storyteller
