life

"...When you die, the energy that kept you alive filters into the people you loved. Did you know that? It's like a fire you've tended all your life, and the sparks are all scattered into the wind.... That's why we survive as long as we do, because the people who loved us keep us going."

"What a strange thing!to be alivebeneath cherry blossoms."

"I'm not crying because of you; you're not worth it. I'm crying because my delusion of who you were was shattered by the truth of who you are."

"Even for me life had its gleams of sunshine."

"You can go your whole life collecting days, and none will outweigh the one you wish you had back."

"Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom."

"What I want is so simple I almost can't say it: elementary kindness."

"Thinking there is something better out there in the world, something worth more than you already have- of all my mistakes,that was my biggest."

"Life is only precious because it ends, kid. Take it from a god. You mortals don't know how lucky you are"

"Who are you?Are you in touch with all of your darkest fantasies?Have you created a life for yourself where you can experience them?I have. I am fucking crazy.But I am free."

"We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us."
