"Okay. Then...I can talk. Ask me something.""Okay." He laughs shakily in my ear. "Why is your heart racing Tris?"I cringe and say, "Well, I...I barely know you.

Asa Don Brown

"Let's tell the truth to people. When people ask, 'How are you?' have the nerve sometimes to answer truthfully.

But think of it this way: If people avoid you, you will have more time to meditate and do fine research on a cure for whatever truly afflicts you."
