“If I just wouldn't be happy, or just wouldn't make anyone happy, or just wouldn't achieve any dreams, or just wouldn't contribute to society - if I would just be worthless in one of their categories, I'd be fine with that.

But if I wouldn't be happy and wouldn't make anyone happy and wouldn't achieve any dreams and wouldn't contribute to society... I didn't know where I could look to for salvation.”

“Until very recently, spending money and eating at a fancy restaurant wasn't an option. I'd been living in poverty for years, and I must have lost a lot of imagination in that time, too.”

“I'm still dubious about the actual existence of that "thing" myself. But if the "love" you speak of doesn't exist, then someone must have come up with it. Which is a stunning thought. For many ages, love has been the cause of many beautiful paintings, songs, and stories. If it's only made-up, "love" may be humanity's greatest innovation, or perhaps the world's kindest lie.”

“I believe those three days,

compared to the tragic thirty years I would have lived,

compared to the worthwhile thirty days I would have lived,

were of much, much more value.”
