“There’s a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasn’t ‘cause I thought I’d be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It’s easier to be alone, because what if you learn that you need love and you don’t have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It’s like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever.”

“You must not ever stop being whimsical. And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.”
– Mary Oliver (via misswallflower)
“His mother – who has just graduated from college as a teacher – is a source of fierce pride. ‘I feel like I think like a woman, because I grew up with my mother and my sister so I’ve just been programmed to think like a girl,’ he says. ‘I’m attracted to films that have strong female characters because there are strong female characters in my life. That’s my own reality so it’s a doorway into a world for me.’“
