"I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin."
"I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast and shattered it will reach you everywhere."
"I wish I could say everything in one word. I hate all the things that can happen between the beginning of a sentence and the end."
