You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.

There is no time. There is no death. Life is a dream. It's a wish. Made again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and on into eternity. And I am all of it. I am everything. I am all. I am that i am.

Open your eyes and see what you can with them before they close forever.

It’s been two weeks since I finished reading A little life and it’s conformed that I’ll be scarred forever. I don’t even have to remember Jude, for he’s always there; he’s there in my whole being. I would live for eternity with him, if I could. I want to tell him how beautiful he is, and how brave. I want to hug him like Willem did when he wanted to cut himself, and never let go. I miss you, Judy.

Wasn’t friendship its own miracle, the finding of another person who made the entire lonely world seem somehow less lonely?

[baleych]

[baleych]

my only goal in life is finding a relationship like jude and willem's

[baleych]

i just started listening to the audiobook of 'a little life' again and it hurts so good to be at the beginning of the story again.
