“It seems odd to me now that after so long I still focus on a time so brief as to be but a fraction of an instant in the time I will be here, but so powerfully has that instant rooted into me that I hold onto it with a hopeless desperation. Ages of universes pass while I look at books of nonsense, yet I think on and on of a love so far in the past it is incomprehensible to believe it was even real.”

“John Gregory Dunne says he began his novel The Red, White and Blue knowing only the first sentence (“When the hour of the trial began we left the country,”) and that the last line of the novel would be either “No,” or “Yes.” (Four years later, when the novel was finished, the last line turned out to be “No.”)”

“Love doesn’t even have the decency to die. It just transforms into abject misery. That’s what this ache in my chest is: misery. Because love, at its root, is hope. Hope for tomorrow. Hope for what could be. Hope that the someone you’ve entrusted your everything to will cradle and protect it. And hope? That shit is harder to kill than a dragon.”

“People who suffer from borderline personality disorder are desperate for love. It’s why they tend to be hyperemotional. They will go to any length to avoid loss of affection, even if it means disrespecting boundaries or engaging in destructive behavior. They don’t care about anyone else’s needs or feelings. All that matters to them are their needs and their feelings. Other people are perceived as self-objects. In other words, borderlines don’t view others as separate individuals but as extensions of themselves. Their perception of the world is therefore purely egocentric and one-dimensional.”
