"All night long, your thoughts are on the air.
Am I sleeping? Have I slept at all? This is the insomnia.
Try to relax a little more with every breath out, but your heart’s still racing and your thoughts tornado in your head."

"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well.

"She was falling in love with the orderly side of his nature. He cleaned up the apartment. He made a budget and stuck to it. He made up the bed and shaved and combed his hair. He brushed his teeth. He was like a movie star. He was so polite to people. People came over all the time to talk to him and tell him things. She was lucky to have him. There wasn’t a girl in Berkeley who wasn’t waiting to take him away from her."
