You can read me like a book, but I'm so thick, that you can't find the middle. You think you've read the whole story, but that's just one part of my never-ending tale.

The Statements:
“Since the dawn of recorded history, something like 110 billion human beings have been born into this world. And not a single one of them made it. There are 6.8 billion people on the planet. Roughly 60 million of them die every year. 60 million people. That comes out to about 160,000 per day. I read this quote once when I was a kid, “We live alone, we die alone. Everything else is just an illusion.” It used to keep me up at night. We all die alone. So, why am I supposed to spend my life working, sweating, struggling? For an illusion? Because no amount of friends, no girl, no assignments about conjugating the pluperfect or determining the square root of the hypotenuse is gonna help me avoid my fate. I have better things to do with my time.” -George Zinavoy, Freddie Highmore
“I have a real problem with motivating. But I think I can do it. I’ll try.” -George Zinavoy, Freddie Highmore
“You’re really weird.” -Sally Howe, Emma Roberts
“I fear life.” -George Zinavoy, Freddie Highmore
“I’m kind of a misanthrope. Not a choice, just a fact.” -George Zinavoy, Freddie Highmore
“You know, ticklish people make great lovers. Everything is erogenous.” -Charlotte Howe, Elizabeth Reaser
“She’s back on the singles scene with a vengeance.” -Sally Howe, Emma Roberts
“I like layers.” -George Zinavoy, Freddie Highmore
“Women love being desired. You just go throw her up against the wall, start kissing her. Chances are she’ll kiss you back. And if she doesn’t, then at least you tried. You gotta do something or you might lose her.” -Dustin, Michael Angarano
“Will you have sex with me?” -Sally Howe, Emma Roberts
“You’re my only real friend. Let’s not ruin it.” -Sally Howe, Emma Roberts
“Things change. Sometimes so quickly you don’t even notice it. I don’t know. Happiness is, like, something you have to look after, be vigilant about.” -Vivian Sargent, Rita Wilson
“I need to tell you something. You were right, in a way. I should’ve been able to say what I wanted to. I’m in love with you. I always have been. I thought you were the unfair one, but it was unfair of me not to say it. So, I’ve said it. I was nothing. I felt like nothing. Less than. You changed that.” -George Zinavoy, Freddie Highmore
“You know we’re gonna be together one day. We have to sort through all of our messed-up issues and you have to sleep with a lot of girls to get it out of your system.” -Sally Howe, Emma Roberts
“It’s a long life. We’re not done.” -Sally Howe, Emma Roberts
“Anything is possible.” -Principal Bill Martinson, Blair Underwood

and the red telephone boxes and the cute double-deckers and the Union Jack and the history and the language and the literature and Stephen Hawking and friends and the fact that Great Britain started the Industrial Revolution - and of course, thank you Queen Victoria, you rule - also the fact that they’ve super powerful monarchy and the fact that it doesn’t involve the pressure of the patriarchal paradigm just like the majority, and Scottish plaid skirt and Belfast and the Titanic, AND BASICALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT THE UK! Omg I’m so obsessed.

So stretch your mind as far as possible, for we are blessed with these things called “brains” - the most powerful computers in the world. Live an examined life, be knowledgeable, and three words to keep in mind: “Tell me more”! :D
