There are so many people. It is easy to forget how full the world is of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined.

It’s quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see.

People are supposed to care. It's good that people mean something to you, that you miss people when they're gone.

Some people have lives; some people have music and some people have neither.
