«It is no surprise to me that hardly anyone tells the truth about how they feel. The smart ones keep themselves to themselves for good reason. Why would you want to tell anyone anything that's dear to you? Even when you like them and want nothing more than to be closer than close to them? It's so painful to be next to someone you feel strongly about and know you can't say the things you want to.»
«It is so easy to have in your hands. It is so easy to feel security from it. It is so easy in ways that cannot be explained. That is what makes it hard...hard on you, hard on me, hard on everyone that comes within miles of it. That is what makes love so easy, it's hard.»
