“There is one thing you know for sure, one fact that never fails to comfort you: the worst day of your life wasn't in there, in that mess. And it will do you good to remember the best day of your life wasn't in there, either. But another person brought you closer to those borders than you had been, and maybe that's not such a bad thing.” KnowsPersonsFactsRememberFailingOne ThingWorstComfortMessBordersBad ThingsWorst Day Book:How Did You Get This Number Source: How Did You Get This Number
“When it seems impossible that a deep connection with another person could just go away instead of changing form. It seems impossible that you will one day look up and say the words "I used to date someone who lived in that building," referring to a three-year relationship.

In the dark, almost against your will, you produce that special glare reserved for people who cannot control their own behaviour.” PeoplePersonsDoeMomentsLyingWaitingDarkSpecialProduceAnxietyStrikesPassagesBehaviourReservedGlareBeside YouSnoring Author:Sloane Crosley
“For the average person, taken to their sick bed, it takes a serious bout of pneumonia or a full body cast to completely forget the life they had prior to falling off the rollercoaster.

“I can say with a solid degree of authority that I am a selfish person. I spontaneously forget the names of more people than not, unless I want to make out with them.

“My grandmother was a kind of Scarsdale, New York, society woman, best known in her day as the author of the 1959 book 'Growing Your Own Way: An Informal Guide for Teen-Agers' - this despite being a person whose parenting style made Joan Crawford's wire hangers look like pool noodles.” WayLooksKindPersonsMadeBookKnownGrowingStyleNew YorkGuidesDespiteGrandmotherPoolMy GrandmotherWireNoodlesHangersParenting Styles Author:Sloane Crosley
