“Sự hiện hữu của cái chết sẽ làm chúng ta nhận rõ cái gì thực sự cần, cái gì không cần.[...] Còn bình thường, ta phó mặc cho những ước mơ cứ thế chết dần chết mòn trong cái thường nhật và sự nhạt nhòa của thời gian.”

“Tôi trộm nghĩ, chắc thầy Nombre vẫn nhớ tới hình bóng người con gái ông đã không có cơ hội gắn bó khi xưa. Việc này chắc cũng tương tự như khi yêu ai đó? Dù mấy chục năm không gặp nhau, dù người đó không còn trên tinh cầu này nữa, ta vẫn thấy nhớ nhung không nguôi”

“There are many, many difficult times, god knows. If a person wants to stand on her own two feet, I recommend undertaking the care and feeding of something. It could be children, or it could be house plants, you know? By doing that you come to understand your own limitations. That's where it starts.”

“The fact that I’m me and no one else is one of my greatest assets. Emotional hurt is the price a person has to pay in order to be independent.”

“I was blessed with another trait I inherited from my mother, her ability to forget the pain in life. I remember the thing that caused the trauma, but I don't hold onto the trauma. I never let the memory of something painful prevent me from trying something new. If you think too much about the ass kicking your mom gave you or the ass kicking that life gave you, you’ll stop pushing the boundaries and breaking the rules. It’s better to take it, spend some time crying, then wake up the next day and move on. You’ll have a few bruises and they’ll remind you of what happened and that’s ok. But after a while, the bruises fade and they fade for a reason. Because now, it’s time to get up to some shit again.”
