"Maybe a person's world can grow bigger in all the right ways, not too wide that it becomes shallow, just large enough to preserve its depth."

"It was as if this night were only one of thousands of nights, world without end, night curving into night to make a great arching line of which I couldn't see the end, a night in which I roamed alone under cold, mindless stars."

"This was not my moment to be seeking romance and (as day follows night) to further complicate my already knotty life. This was my moment to look for the kind of healing and peace that can only come from solitude."

"Everything hurt. I closed my eyes, pressing my cheek to the street, and waited. What for, I didn't know. To be rescued. Or found. But no one came. All I'd ever thought I wanted was to be left alone. Until I was."

"I am but a stranger ... as we all are. Lonely inside our separate skins, we cannot know each others pain and must bear our own in solitude. For my part, I have found that walking soothes it; and that, given luck, sometimes we find one to walk besides us ... at least for a little way."

"You could try and understand people, you could read books and understand words and concepts and ideas, but you could never understand enough or have enough knowledge to keep away the surprises that both fate and human beings had in store."
Knowledge
"It was strange to have those papers signed. Like any big project or crisis that takes every waking and non - waking moment in your life, it was odd to have it concluded. A move, a college degree, a wedding - something long - strived - for is completed, whatever the outcome, and there is a huge space where it all once was. All that open time now, and a continuing nagging sense that there's something you need to be doing."
Ambition
"Our memories and events in our lives are untidy things. We wish that we can file them away and shut the door, or wish the opposite - that they would stay forever."
Mind
"Marriage is like a well - built porch. If one of the two posts leans too much, the porch collapses. So each must be strong enough to stand on its own."
Marriage
"What came next wasn't exactly silence, because although it was quiet, a thousand things were being said. I hated that part about an unhappy household - that feeling of being perched and listening, the way an animal must feel at night in the dark, assessing danger."
Success
"But what I wanted back had never really been there. He was a temporary illusion, a mirage of water after walking in the desert. I had made him up. And he could have killed me. You've got to stop the ride sometimes. Stop it and get off."
Change
"Too often in my life, love has been defined as 'humiliation with occasional roses'."
Love
"Flawed Human Parents + Shit Life Throws At You = Childhood That 'Builds Character."
Growth
"Supposedly there's an actual, researched link between extreme creativity and mental illness, and I believe it because I've seen it with my own eyes."
Creativity
"The most basic and somehow forgettable thing is this: Love is not pain. Love is goodness. And real love - it's less shiny than solid and simple."
