"If music be the food of love, play on..."

"This was my choice, my decision. He was the closest thing I'd ever had to something, or someone, that mattered. But in the end, close didn't count. You were either in or you weren't."

"Maybe the truth was, it shouldn't be easy to be amazing. Then everything would be. It's the things you fight for and stuggle with before earning that have the greatest worth.

"He puts his arms around me. Like everyone else did. Because that's what people do who love you. They put their arms around you and love you when you're not so loveable. My throat is full and tight with tears. There are probably a hundred types of crying. Fatigue crying and despair crying and loss crying and relieved crying and narrow-escape crying. This is crying that's the sudden knowledge of love and it's fullness. And right then I learn something very simple and fundamental about love. That it is there or it is not there. That some of our biggest troubles probably come when we try to convince ourselves it it there when it isn't, or that it isn't there when it is."
