“The thing is, we all proceed a lot more unconsciously, mechanically, than we would care to admit, and to do otherwise requires tremendous strength, and a constant effort not to lie to ourselves, which is something I’m trying to do with all of my might.”

“Men and women are both human beings. And as humans, we’re by-products of our upbringings, victims of our lackluster educational systems, and choosers of our behaviors.

Everything skyrockets out of control from there.”

When they laugh, when they cry, when they’re ill, when they grow, every moment they adore you and every step they take away from you—the whole thing is completely heartbreaking.”
