Wir sehen Menschen, die wir lieben, meist nur so, wie wir sie im Kopf haben. Hin und wieder aber erhaschen wir zufällig einen Blick darauf, wie sie in Wirklichkeit aussehen, und in den Sekundenbruchte...
To err, as they say, is human. To forgive is divine. To err by withholding your forgiveness until it's too late is to become divinely fucked up.
There are no happy endings, just happy days, happy moments. The only real ending is death, and trust me, no one dies happy. And the price of not dying is that things change all the time, and the only...
The last time I saw Wade, I attacked him with an office chair. The time before that, I jammed a lit cheesecake up his ass and almost burned his balls off. So it's understandable that his first reactio...
The gravedigger looks like Santa Claus, and I don’t believe for a minute he doesn’t know it. With his long white beard and stout build, he has to know the effect of wearing a red and white anorak and...
Sometimes, contentment is a matter of will. You have to look at what you have right in front of you, at what it could be, and stop measuring it against what you’ve lost. I know this to be wise and tru...
She looks at him for a long moment, then sighs deeply. Silver, she says, her voice tinged with a profound sadness with which he is all too familiar. All the things you can't get back, all the things y...

None of us makes eye contact. We have pretty much had it with each other. We are injured and angry, scared and sad. Some families, like some couples, become toxic to each other after prolonged exposur...
No one under eighty moves to Florida. Isn’t that like a federal statute or something?
I’m living in separate universes, and I have no idea where I actually belong.
It occurs to hi that what he has failed to impart through wisdom, he may well have imparted through stupidity.
If we ever stopped to think about the infinite number of ways we could be undone, we’d never leave our bedrooms.
I'll tell you the same thing I told your father. We make mistakes. They don't make us. If they did, we'd all be royally fucked, especially a coupe of assholes like us. I grin at his last remark, and f...
I'd been forced into a movie, and there was nothing to do but follow the script.
I want to explain everything to him, show him that it’s really not as screwed up as it all sounds, but then I remember that it is.
I blame Hollywood for skewing perspectives. Life is just a big romantic comedy to them, and if you meet cute, happily ever-after is a forgone conclusion.
Everybody dies alone. That's a fact. Some more alone than others.
