 “THE BEST THING ABOUT DREAMS IS THAT FLEETING MOMENT, WHEN YOU ARE BETWEEN ASLEEP AND AWAKE, WHEN YOU DON’T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REALITY AND FANTASY, WHEN FOR JUST THAT ONE MOMENT YOU FEEL WITH YOUR ENTIRE SOUL THAT THE DREAM IS REALITY, AND IT REALLY HAPPENED.”

 “I WOULD SAY THAT THE OPPOSITE OF DEPRESSION IS NOT HAPPINESS, BUT VITALITY,” HE SAID. “THE EXPERIENCE OF DEPRESSION IS NOT SO MUCH ABOUT FEELING INCREDIBLY SAD, BUT FEELING INCREDIBLY DEVITALIZED, AND NOT HAVING ANY OF THE ESSENTIAL ENERGY THAT CONSTITUTES BEING ALIVE OR ANY OF THE FEELINGS THAT MAKE UP OUR DAY-TO-DAY EXPERIENCE.”

 “SOME STRANGERS BECOME MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN FAMILY, MAYBE BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT EXPECTED TO LOVE THEM. YOU CAN LEAVE THEM WHENEVER YOU WANT TO. EVERY MOMENT TOGETHER IS A CHOICE.”

“I CAN’T HELP IT. I CAN’T HELP CARING. I’M FORCED. I’M TOO WEAK TO RESTRAIN MYSELF FROM YOU. I CAN’T HELP LOOKING FOR YOU IN A CROWD. I CAN’T HELP THINKING OF YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT, DAY, OR ANYTIME AT ALL. I CAN’T HELP WISHING THAT YOU WOULD LOVE ME. I CAN’T HELP WAITING UNTIL THE MOMENT WE TALK AGAIN. I CAN’T HELP WANTING TO BE MORE THAN JUST FRIENDS. I CAN’T HELP THE WAY I LOVE YOU..ALTHOUGH I WISH I COULD. SOMETIMES I JUST WONDER WHY I LOVE YOU THE WAY I DO; BUT I DON’T HAVE A REASON. I JUST SIMPLY FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU.”

“NO MATTER HOW UPSIDE DOWN IT ALL MAY TEMPORARILY APPEAR, WE WILL HAVE NO FEAR BECAUSE WE KNOW THIS SECRET: LIFE IS CRAZILY IN LOVE WITH US—WILDLY AND INNOCENTLY IN LOVE WITH US. THE UNIVERSE ALWAYS GIVES US EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED, EXACTLY WHEN WE NEED IT.”

“AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, ALL WE REALLY WANT IS TO BE CLOSE TO SOMEBODY. SO THIS THING, WHERE WE ALL KEEP OUR DISTANCE AND PRETEND NOT TO CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER, IS USUALLY A LOAD OF BULL. SO WE PICK AND CHOOSE WHO WE WANT TO REMAIN CLOSE TO, AND ONCE WE’VE CHOSEN THOSE PEOPLE, WE TEND TO STICK CLOSE BY. NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE HURT THEM, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE STILL WITH YOU AT THE END OF THEY DAY, THOSE ARE THE ONES WORTH KEEPING. AND SURE, SOMETIMES CLOSE CAN BE TOO CLOSE BUT SOMETIMES, THAT INVASION OF PERSONAL SPACE, IT CAN BE EXATCLY WHAT YOU NEED.”

 “A SOULMATE IS SOMEONE WHO HAS LOCKS THAT FIT OUR KEYS, AND KEYS TO FIT OUR LOCKS. WHEN WE FEEL SAFE ENOUGH TO OPEN THE LOCKS, OUR TRUEST SELVES STEP OUT AND WE CAN BE COMPLETELY AND HONESTLY WHO WE ARE; WE CAN BE LOVED FOR WHO WE ARE AND NOT FOR WHO WE’RE PRETENDING TO BE. EACH UNVEILS THE BEST PART OF THE OTHER. NO MATTER WHAT ELSE GOES WRONG AROUND US, WITH THAT ONE PERSON WE’RE SAFE IN OUR OWN PARADISE. OUR SOULMATE IS SOMEONE WHO SHARES OUR DEEPEST LONGINGS, OUR SENSE OF DIRECTION. WHEN WE’RE TWO BALLOONS, AND TOGETHER OUR DIRECTION IS UP, CHANCES ARE WE’VE FOUND THE RIGHT PERSON. OUR SOULMATE IS THE ONE WHO MAKES LIFE COME TO LIFE.”

“I BELIEVE THE MOST DIFFICULT SITUATION YOU CAN BE EVER BE FACED WITH IS DECIDING WHETHER YOU SHOULD JUST MOVE ON OR HOLD ON A LITTLE TIGHTER. MOVE ON, AND MAYBE YOU’LL LOSE A CHANCE AT THE BEST THING THAT COULD HAVE EVER HAPPENED, OR HOLD ON, AND HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF ONE DAY BEING THE BIGGEST DISASTER EVER CREATED.”

 “PEOPLE THINK A SOUL MATE IS YOUR PERFECT FIT, AND THAT’S WHAT EVERYONE WANTS. BUT A TRUE SOUL MATE IS A MIRROR, THE PERSON WHO SHOWS YOU EVERYTHING THAT IS HOLDING YOU BACK, THE PERSON WHO BRINGS YOU TO YOUR OWN ATTENTION SO YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. A TRUE SOUL MATE IS PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON YOU’LL EVER MEET, BECAUSE THEY TEAR DOWN YOUR WALLS AND SMACK YOU AWAKE.”

 “HUMAN BEINGS ARE FUNNY. THEY LONG TO BE WITH THE PERSON THEY LOVE BUT REFUSE TO ADMIT OPENLY. SOME ARE AFRAID TO SHOW EVEN THE SLIGHTEST SIGN OF AFFECTION BECAUSE OF FEAR. FEAR THAT THEIR FEELINGS MAY NOT BE RECOGNIZED, OR EVEN WORST, RETURNED. BUT ONE THING ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS PUZZLES ME THE MOST IS THEIR CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO BE CONNECTED WITH THE OBJECT OF THEIR AFFECTION EVEN IF IT KILLS THEM SLOWLY WITHIN.”
