“To leave, after all, was not the same as being left.”

“Do you know what your problem is? You can’t live with the idea that someone might leave.”

“We leave something of ourselves behind when we leave a place, we stay there, even though we go away. And there are things in us that we can find again only by going back there.”

“There ain’t no way you can hold onto something that wants to go, you understand? You can only love what you got while you got it.”
