“I used to think that love was the greatest reason to be human, I truly believed that. But now, it has dawned on me, that love may in fact be just like any other aspect of life: something that could go extremely well but also could go terribly wrong. We think that love acts as a guarantee for good things; but it doesn't. It's equal parts the possibility of Hell as much as it is the possibility of Heaven. And this realisation kind of makes you a little sad, in a way. That at the end of the day, you must always be your own home and your own Heaven.”

“I once met a man who didn't have a heart. He told me he didn't have one. So I planted one inside him and he didn't even recognize it while it was growing. "What are these weird feelings?" he'd ask me. As if he'd never loved before, never felt before. "That's called a heart, you shithead" I explained. But then he took that heart and gave it as a gift to another. "Look, I have a gift for you" he told her. But that heart will die without me, you see. Hearts cannot be regifted.”

“I have a good son. But what does that even mean? Stereotypically, it would mean that I have an "obedient" son. Especially out here in Asian society. But to me, what that means, is that I have a son I can actually consult for serious and important insight because he has become a man whom I may rely on, respect and trust. That's what it means to me. Obedience? That's not important to me. I don't need an obedient son, I need a son who has become better than me, brighter than me, who is reliable, accountable, trustworthy and insightful. And he's all that. That's how he's a good son.”
