“Everything was beautiful. Not that there was anyone to share it with, anyone to tell. Just the beauty.”

“But I wasn’t crying because I was sad. I guess I was crying because we had nowhere else to go, no choice but to go on living in this world. Crying because we had no other world to choose, and crying at everything before us, everything around us.”

“Listen, if there’s a hell, we’re in it. And if there’s a heaven, we’re already there. This is it. None of that matters. And you know what? I think that’s fucking great.”

“when you send someone a letter, how it’s out of your hands. It’s not yours anymore, even though you wrote it.”

“Because we’re always in pain, we know exactly what it means to hurt somebody else. Maybe it’s not as bad for me as it is for you, but I think I know how you feel, probably more than anybody.”

“We’ll understand some things while we’re alive and some after we die. But it doesn’t really matter when it happens. What matters is that all the pain and all the sadness have meaning.”
