"The best fights don't occur between strangers. They occur between friends who trust each other."
"In my defence, I did like my ex until she cheated on me. I just thought the feeling was love."

"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places.

And never, never to forget."
