“Sad sam shvatio: to je prijateljstvo, ljubav prema drugome. Sve drugo može da prevari to ne može.
Sve drugo može da izmakne i ostavi nas puste, to ne može, jer zavisi od nas.
Ne mogu da mu kažem: budi mi prijatelj. Ali mogu da kažem, biću ti prijatelj.
Ali, bilo ovako ili onako, u njegovo prijateljstvo nisam mogao sumnjati. Zavolio sam ga, znam po tome što mi je postao potreban,
što nisam zamjerio ničemu ma šta da je rekao ili učinio, i što mi je sve njegovo postalo važno.
Ljubav je valjda jedina stvar na svijetu koju ne treba objašnjavati ni tražiti joj razloge.
Pa ipak to činim, makar samo zato da još jednom pomenem čovjeka koji je unio toliko radosti u moj život.
Pitao sam ga jednom, kako to da je baš meni poklonio svoje prijateljstvo. Prijateljstvo se ne bira, ono biva ko zna zbog čega kao ljubav.

A ništa ja nisam poklonio tebi već sebi.”

“Depression is the most unpleasant thing I have ever experienced. . . . It is that absence of being able to envisage that you will ever be cheerful again. The absence of hope. That very deadened feeling, which is so very different from feeling sad. Sad hurts but it's a healthy feeling. It is a necessary thing to feel. Depression is very different.”

“But when she was scared, she was a child again, and she was more afraid of being a child again than anything else in her life.”

“I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.”
