"I used to be afraid the universe was evil. Now I almost wish it was. Because evil can be bargained with, evil has a purpose, no matter how horrible it may be. But what I’ve come to realize is the universe is indifferent, and that is so much more terrifying."

“That’s what friends do. In our twenties we keep each other from being roofied; in our sixties we let each other know if we’re doing old-lady shit and when it’s time to pluck our chin hair.”

"The past is always with you, whether you choose to think about it or not, whether you take responsibility for it or not. You carry the past with you because it transforms you. You can try to bury it and pretend it never happened, but that doesn’t work."

"Have you ever been stuck in one of those nightmares where you try screaming and nothing comes out? It’s like I’m living the real-life version of that every time I get close enough to someone to consider them a friend. I feel like I trick them by being able to talk while they’re still a stranger."

"The problem is, you can’t go back. You can try. But human nature never lets you. Wherever you are, that becomes ground zero. Greed is not ‘I need more’—it’s the fear of losing what you already have. Of going back."
