“Don’t give up, that’s the most important thing in the beginning. There are people who have lived through it, and as trite and as stupid and as irrelevant as it sounds to you right now, you will not be in so much pain later. Even not so far in the future. If you made it this far, you’ve got some pretty good stuff in you. So just trust it. Don’t give up on yourself.”

“You’re a work of art. Not everyone will understand you, but the ones who do, will never forget about you.”
