I hope this grief stays with me, because it's all the unexpressed love I didn't get to tell her.

I realized there are two kinds of people. The ones who break up with you and need to wish you the best. Like “take care, be happy.” Then there’s the other kind. We’re a little bit more of a dick. Love is like two people on a seesaw. When one goes up, the other goes down. The balance is always fucked thanks to time, monotony, or because of people like me, the ones who only know one way to get rid of pain: by giving it back.

Love does not despair. Love makes us strong. Love gives us the courage to act. Love gives us hope that change is possible. Love allows us to change the script. So love your country, love your family, love the families and the victims, but let’s remember love is a verb. And to love means to do something.

So we come to occupy a moral safe house where everyone's to blame, so no one's guilty

The first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb, when it comes, find us doing sensible and human things -- praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts -- not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs.

I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them

I'm offering you resurrection. A second life. Although, if you want, you can continue to obsess over the memories of your first one. I'll learn the only thing I need to know about you right now: whether you're brave enough to be born again. To live again. To find another love. A family. It's a "yes" or "no," and today's the day.
