“Of course, you never really forget anyone, but you certainly release them. You stop allowing their history to have any meaning for you today. You let them change their haircut, let them move, let them fall in love again. And when you see this person you have let go, you realize that there is no reason to be sad. The person you knew exists somewhere, but you are separated by too much time to reach them again.”

“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us.”

“Frankly, I was horrified by life, at what a man had to do simply in order to eat, sleep, and keep himself clothed. So I stayed in bed and drank. When you drank the world was still out there, but for the moment it didn’t have you by the throat.”

“I’ve always thought there’s a difference between a man breaking your heart and life breaking your heart and the latter always seems to find a way to break you in ways you didn’t even think you could break.”

“People can be cruelest to those they love.”
