"It seems to me that the pleasure one feels in a work of art is just one thing that one does not have to explain."
"A slight deviation form what we would think of as symmetry gives us a bit more information and the mind seems to enjoy this stimulation because it is always looking for value. Beauty is a slight deviation from expectation."

I wondered what we would be like, if we had been completely honest with each other in the first place. Maybe more people would be alive, but then again, more people could be dead."
"I thought of all the hardships and people that I had lost in the past few days alone, but, most of all, I thought of how I didn't regret any of it."
"I don't believe that, ' I said, and he raised his brow beneath his shaggy hair. 'I never asked you to. (Jessica)"
"Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I'll wake up with sweat drenching my chest and think it's the blood and muck I was covered in that night."
