In one way or another I've always suffered. I didn't know why exactly, but I do know that I'm not so scared of suffering now. I feel more than I've ever felt, and I've found someone to feel with, to play with, to love in a way that feels right for me. I hope he knows that I can see that he suffers too, and that I want to love him.

Cái quý nhất của con người ta là sự sống. Đời người chỉ sống có một lần. Phải sống sao cho khỏi xót xa ân hận vì những năm tháng đã sống hoài sống phí, cho khỏi hổ thẹn vì dĩ vãng ti tiện và hèn đớn của mình để khi nhắm mắt xuôi tay có thể nói rằng: Tất cả đời ta, tất cả sức ta, ta đã hiến dâng cho sự nghiệp cao đẹp nhất trên đời, sự nghiệp đấu tranh giải phóng loài người.

Being ugly is so damn peaceful. Nobody texts you, nobody falls in love with you, nobody cares whether you alive or dead, nobody stares at you, you can just be happy all alone.

You're the only person in the world who could make hideously selfish me love another more than I do myself.
