“A person learns how to love himself through the simple acts of loving and being loved by someone else.”

“Ninguno de los muchachos se acordó: por lo menos, no me lo dijeron. Se han alejado paulatinamente del culto de su madre. Creo que Blanca es la única que en realidad la echa de menos, la única que la menciona con naturalidad. ¿Seré yo el culpable? En los primeros tiempos, no hablaba mucho de ella, sólo porque me era doloroso. Ahora tampoco hablo mucho de ella, porque temo equivocarme, temo hablar de otra persona que nada haya tenido que ver con mi mujer. ¿Alguna vez Avellaneda se olvidará así de mí? He aquí el misterio: antes de empezar a olvidarse, tiene que acordarse, que empezar a acordarse.”

“They've poisoned you with this 'love is patient, love is kind' bullshit since you were a kid. But love is scientific, man. I mean, it's really just a chemical reaction in the brain. Sometimes that reaction lasts a lifetime, repeating itself over and over again. And sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it goes supernova and then starts to fade. We're all just chemical hearts. Does that make love any less brilliant? I don't think so.”

“I know you want her back, kid. And I know that people saying things like 'there are plenty more fish in the sea' is only going to make you hurt more. And I could tell you all about the science of what your brain is going through right now. How it's processing a pain as intense as hitting a nerve in your tooth, but it can't find a source for that pain, so you kind of feel it everywhere. I could tell you that when you fall for someone, the bits of your brain that light up are the same as when you're hungry or thirsty. And I could tell you that when the person you love leaves you, you starve for them, you crave them, Heartbreak is a science, like love. So trust me when I say this: you're wounded right now, but you'll heal.”
