The tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks, and the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts.

---

Maybe it needed to be broken. Sometimes things have to break before you can fix them.

And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person.

I suppose it won't matter when I'm 38, but I'm upset about it.

---

Can you hear the silence?
Can you see the dark?
Can you fix the broken?
Can you feel my heart?

So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.

People like to tell you what you're gonna be.
It's not my problem if you don't see what I see
and I do not give a damn if you don't believe.

---

Take all the courage you have left and waste it on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head.

---

When I first met you, that’s what I remember. I looked up at the sky and thought, I’m going to love this person because even the sky looks different.

---

If you're smart, you care. And if you care, you love.

---

I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That’s why I’m trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning.

---

Because falling's not the problem, when I'm falling I'm at peace.
It's only when I hit the ground it causes all the grief

---

And all the books you've read have been read by other people. And all the songs you've loved have been heard by other people. And that girl that's pretty to you is pretty to other people. and that if you looked at these facts when you were happy, you would feel great because you are describing 'unity.

---

What is the opposite of two? A lonely me and a lonely you.

---

Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.

---

If you do something with your whole heart and it’s a mistake, you can live with that.

You are not the last dream of my soul.
You are the first dream, the only dream I ever was unable to stop myself from dreaming. You are the first dream of my soul, and from that dream I hope will come all other dreams, a lifetime's worth.
