There can't ever be happiness except when like mates like.
It's an extraordinary thing — to meet someone who you can bare your soul to. They'll accept you for what you are. I've been waiting what seems like a very long time to get beyond what I am. With Bella, I feel like I can finally begin. No measure of time with you will be long enough, but let's start with forever.
— Men are jerks and make you unhappy.
— No man in the world can make you happy if you weren't happy already. You have to make yourself happy. It's totally selfish to wait at home, frustrated, expecting someone else to make you happy all the time. And anyway it's normal to be unhappy. I don't run around every day saying, "Life is awesome!" Why does everyone expect to be happy all the time? Sounds nice, but what do you know about relationships? You only want sex. Think I've never had a relationship? That's why I'm alone! It's so difficult to find someone who's got it together and doesn't expect me
to make them happy. And blame me for it when they're not.

I could die right now, Clem. I'm just... happy. I've never felt that before.
I am a kind of paranoid in reverse. I suspect people of plotting to make me happy.
Don't look so scared. Maybe there's happy endings even for people who don't believe in them.
