But is it such a bad thing to live like this for just a little while? Just for a few months of one's life, is it so awful to travel through time with no greater ambition than to find the next lovely meal? Or to learn how to speak a language for no higher purpose than that it pleases your ear to hear it? Or to nap in a garden, in a patch of sunlight, in the middle of the day, right next to your favorite fountain? And then to do it again the next day?

But I can't look away and he can't seem to either. Time has slowed so much that I wonder if when we stop staring at each other we will be old and our whole lives will be over with just a few measly kisses between us.

Something occurs to me then: Bailey loved both Toby and me so much - he and I almost make up her whole heart, and maybe that's it, what we were trying to do by being together, maybe we were trying to put her heart back together again.

The first thing I notice is the sky, so full of blue and the kind of brilliant white clouds that make you estatic to have eyes. Nothing can go wrong under this sky.

I’ve never once thought about the interpretative, the storytelling aspect of life, of my life. I always felt like I was in a story, yes, but not like I was the author of it, or like I had any say in its telling whatsoever. You can tell your story any way you damn well please. It’s your solo.

There are people everywhere standing in line at the movies, buying curtains, walking dogs, while inside, their hearts are ripping to shreds. For years. For their whole lives. I don't believe time heals. I don't want it to. If I heal, doesn't that mean I've accepted the world without her?

But then I think about my sister and what a shelless turtle she was and how she wanted me to be one too. C'mon, Lennie, she used to say to me at least ten times a day. C'mon, Len. And that makes me feel better, like it's her life rather than her death that is now teaching me how to be, who to be.

When you say nasty things about people, you should never say the true ones, because you can’t really fully and honestly take those back.

It is so hard to leave—until you leave. And then it is the easiest goddamned thing in the world.

Let me give you some advice: let her come home. I mean, at some point, you gotta stop looking up at the sky, or one of these days you’ll look back down and see that you floated away.

"Interesting capitalization," I said.
"Yeah. I'm a big believer in random capitalization. The rules of capitalization are so unfair to words in the middle."

And I know I can do this because I went to London on my own, and because I solved the mystery of Who Killed Wellington? and I found my mother and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything.

I have tried to change before and I have failed. I have tried to change again and again and again and I have failed over and over and over. If there was something to make me think this time was different, I would try, but there isn't.

I turn and I slowly walk away and I don't look back. It has always been a fault of mine, but it is the way I am. I never look back. Never.

I have always dealt with pain alone. I will deal with it alone now.

If there was a God, I would spit in his face for subjecting me to this. If there was a Devil, I would sell him my soul to make it end.

Ingen vil bli sett på når dei græt, alt det vonde i brystkassa forvandlar ansiktet til noko ugjenkjenneleg.

Eg brukte fleire timar i butikken, for å finne heilt enkle ting som syltetøy og lettmjølk, eg mangle eit språk, eg kunne sjå at blomkål var blomkål, men ikkje uttale det. Så eg gjekk heim og la alle varene mine utover bordet, fann fram ordbok og lærte meg alt utanat, flytta inn i byen ord for ord.

Jeg smiler flere meter over sykkelen, for jeg er atten nå og kan kjenne igjen en løgn.
