he steadfastly adheres to this regimen of silence. He sees no one, talks to no one, and bit by bit he begins to feel somewhat stronger in his loneliness, as if the stringencies he has forced upon himself have ennobled him in some way, reacquainting him with the person he once imagined himself to be.

You must help yourself. If something inside you is broken, you must pull it back together with your own two hands.

Pity is such an awful, useless emotion—you have to bottle it up and keep it to yourself. The moment you try to express it, it only makes things worse.

She used to be so beautiful. She's still beautiful. She's too sad to be beautiful. No one that sad can still be beautiful.

Life-altering events demanded a witness

Fear is a good thing, (...) fear is what drives us to take risks and extend ourselves beyond our normal limits, and any writer who feels he is standing on safe ground is unlikely to produce anything of value.
