Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.

I want someone who is fierce and will love me until death and knows that love is as strong as death, and be on my side forever and ever. I want someone who will destroy and be destroyed by me.

I don’t love studying. I hate studying. I like learning. Learning is beautiful.

I can get my head turned by a good-looking guy as much as the next girl. But sexy doesn’t impress me. Smart impresses me, strength of character impresses me. But most of all, I am impressed by kindness. Kindness, I think, comes from learning hard lessons well, from falling and picking yourself up. It comes from surviving failure and loss. It implies an understanding of the human condition, forgives its many flaws and quirks. When I see that in someone, it fills me with admiration.

Well, let it pass, he thought; April is over, April is over. There are all kinds of love in the world, but never the same love twice.
