“You know where I’m from, love is a beautiful, scared thing shared between two people. It’s not set with all the boundaries and daggers you young people put on everything. If you love a person, you love them. If you want to be with them, you be with them. If it’s not meant to be, love them from afar, free from the pain. You will tear your heart and self in two trying to avoid love.”

“Sento ancora la follia scorrermi dentro, ma ancora non ho scritto le parole che avrei voluto, la tigre mi è rimasta sulla schiena. Morirò con addosso quella figlia di puttana, ma almeno le ho dato battaglia.

Regalateglieli. Ci sono abbastanza parole per noi tutti.”
