   "Yes, the heart for sure is an invention, and otherwise does not exist at all. The heart is that which loves, and that which loves is ephemeral and is everywhere. Ergo, it may only be a thought, a warmth in the fingertips, a streak of exhaled air, a dampened color of voice, merely a whisper. And all the fairy tales, which begin with “a long, long time ago, one day, there was a he or a she” — all of them — talk of the heart. And the heart lords it over everyone in the fairy tales, it elbows its way everywhere, and the heart is manly like the knight who slays the hydra, and is immortal like the hydra, which in place of every cut-off head sprouts ten live ones, and is unconquered like a mountain made of slippery glass, and as submissive as the eyes of a loving woman. And finally the heart is true like the word in which it was locked — a lifetime prisoner sentenced to solitude and an unimportant death."

   "I guess it’s going to have to hurt, I guess I’m going to have to cry and let go of some things I’ve loved to get to the other side. I guess it’s going to break me down, like falling when you try to fly, sad but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life starts with goodbye."

   "The key to a successful relationship isn’t just in the words, it’s in the choice of punctuation. When you’re in love with someone, a well-placed question mark can be the difference between bliss and disaster, and a deeply respected period or a cleverly inserted ellipsis can prevent all kinds of exclamations."
