"Maybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. Like Sam said. Because it's okay to feel things. And be who you are about them."

"So if this does end up being my last letter, please believe that things are good with me, and even when they're not, they will be soon enough. And I will believe the same about you."

Thank you, Charlie.

"There's something glorious about that tunnel that leads to down-town. It's glorious at night. Just glorious."

"Dear friend, girls are weird, and I don't mean that offensively. I just can't put it any other way."

The subplot with Charlie's sister is one of my favorite parts of the book, that's not in the movie.

"I try to remind myself when I feel great like this that there will be another terrible week coming someday, so I should store up as many great details as I can, so during the next terrible week, I can remember those details and believe that I'll feel great again.

"It's like when you are excited about a girl and you see a couple holding hands, and you feel so happy for them. And other times you see the same couple, and they make you so mad. And all you want is to always feel happy for them, because you know that if you do, then it means you're happy, too."

"And all of those little kids are going to do the things that we do. And they will all kiss someone someday. But for now sledding is enough. I think it were great if sledding were always enough, but it isn't."
