awkward inarticulate tricks
As far as rapprochements go, it's awkward and vague, but the advantage of being as emotionally inarticulate as we are is that it will do the trick.
character writing mind
When I'm writing novels, even screenplays, it's never an actor I have in mind; it's always the version in my head of who the character is. Once somebody gets cast, I have to adjust a little bit to who they are.
people parent impossible
It's hard to imagine her ever having felt lost, but it's impossible to know the people your parents were before they were your parents.
years skins trying
Things have been a mess for so many years that trying to pin down a starting point is like trying to figure out where your skin starts.
people waiting next
There are some people out there who don't wait for what come next. They decide what should come next and they go and make it happen.
fate packs
Fate already warned us to pack it in. We just didn’t hear it in time.
want sound remember
I want to explain everything to him, show him that it’s really not as screwed up as it all sounds, but then I remember that it is.
love hate people
We don't stop loving people just because we hate them, but we don't stop hating them either.
passion heartache way
I loved her for the way she embraced the unknown, how she opened herself up to every experience. When I was with her, she opened me up, too, stirred my passion and heightened my every sensation. Which was great, until she left me and all my heightened senses to deal with the heartache of losing her.
love-you thinking should-have
I would have done the same thing I did. I would have put all my energy into loving someone that wasn't you. I would have tried in vain, every day, to not think about you, and what could have been. What should have been. I would have tried to convince myself that there's no such thing as true love, except for the love you yourself make work, even though I know better....The bottom line is I never had any business marrying anyone who wasn't you.
lines hoping-for-the-best screenwriting
I'm generally somebody who hopes for the best. It's not what one ought to do in my line of work [screenwriting], but it is what I do.
lonely knowing feelings
You can sit up here, feeling above it all while knowing you’re not, coming to the lonely conclusion that the only thing you can ever really know about anyone is that you don’t know anything about them at all.
lonely believe years
Silver is forty-four years old, if you can believe it, out of shape, and depressed—although he doesn’t know if you call it depression when you have good reason to be; maybe then you’re simply sad, or lonely, or just painfully aware, on a daily basis, of all the things you can never get back.
inspiration worry finding-love
You're terrified of being alone. Anything you do now will be motivated by that fear. You have to stop worrying about finding love again. It will come when it comes. Get comfortable with being alone. It will empower you.
