Quote from the book

“Part of the human condition is that we all think we are uniquely complex while everyone else is somewhat simpler to read. That is not true, of course. We all have dreams; hopes, wants, lust, and heartaches. We all have our brand of crazy.”

“Hope is cruel. Hope reminds me of what it almost was. Hope makes the physical ache return.”
