I love so many of these lines

A body pocked by landmines left by a lifetime of war. And yet, I have survived, to be here, right here, right now. Have I made it to this point so that finally, for once, I can see myself clearly? The sunlight glimmers. This same light, this same mountain that watches over us in the near distance, will still be here long after I am gone. Shouldn't I view myself, shouldn't we all view ourselves, as eternally majestic?

"We've learned to use humor as a way to laugh at the cruelty of the world. It lessens the pain. It gives us a way to make sense of life. It also brings people in when we want or keeps them at a distance. It's long been a gay man's secret weapon, sorta like mayonnaise is to straight people when they cook."

Ugh, this is painful. I'm surrounded by people like Trudy and I can't stand any of them. I'm with Teddy on this one.

"A house can be filled with historical significance and unparalleled beauty, but it is simply walls and a roof without love, family, struggles, and stories to fill it."

Sid reminds me of Arthur from The Holiday. I love him already.

Okay, I'm listening to the audiobook and already Teddy reminds me of Albert from The Birdcage. This could be fun!
