“The decisions that we're making and not making, the things we can control and the things we can't -- they are huge. And people can choose to forget how it was for them, or they can remember. They can half-listen to us and roll their eyes when we leave because we are young and we have no fucking clue what we're doing. Or they can actually listen, and they can think about themselves when they were like us, and maybe we can bring some pieces of then back.' And now my eyes are welling up, my hands are trembling. 'Because we lose it,' I say. 'We grow up and we lose ourselves.”
― Nina LaCour and David Levithan

“A maioria das vidas é longa, e a maioria das dores é curta. Os corações não se partem de verdade, eles sempre continuam batendo”

“Friendship is about more than facts. It's about knowing what someone is thinking, or knowing enough to know that you don't. But I guess it's also about not letting too much time go by without asking them questions, so you don't end up looking at them one afternoon, the sun so bright you have to squint, realizing that you hardly recognize the person they've become.”
