“When you stopped wishing things wouldn't fall apart, you'd stop suffering when they did.”
“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are books like An Imperial Affliction, which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like betrayal”
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”
