"Love: a single word, a wispy thing, a word no bigger or longer than an edge. That's what it is: an edge; a razor. It draws up through the center of your life, cutting everything in two. Before and after. The rest of the world falls away on either side."
"Find the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go."
"I guess that’s just part of loving people: You have to give things up. Sometimes you even have to give them up."
"You can't be happy unless you're unhappy sometimes"."
"Most of us won't see one another after graduation, and even if we do it will be different. We'll be different. We'll be adults--cured, tagged and labeled and paired and identified and placed neatly on our life path, perfectly round marbles set to roll down even, well-defined slopes."
"Love: It will kill you and save you, both"
