It's my experience that people are a lot more sympathetic if they can see you hurting, and for the millionth time in my life I wish for measles or smallpox or some other easily understood disease just to make it easier on me and also on them.

Allt det där är bara tidsfördriv i väntan på döden.

This is what I want to do with Violet - give her only the good, keep away the bad, so that good is all we ever have around us

I'm not a vain person, but I am human...

I don't know what brings you up here, but to me the town looks prettier and the people look nicer and even the worst of them look almost kind.

Besides, I kind of like my face intact like this, two eyes, one nose, one mouth, a full set of teeth, which, if I'm being honest, is one of my better features.
