“If you spend your life concentrating on what everyone else thought of you, would you forget who you really were? What if the face you showed the world turned out to be a mask . . . with nothing beneath it?”

“Nobody wants to admit this, but bad things will keep on happening. Maybe that’s because it’s all a chain, and a long time ago someone did the first bad thing, and that led someone else to do another bad thing, and so on. You know, like that game where you whisper a sentence into someone’s ear, and that person whispers it to someone else, and it all comes out wrong in the end. But then again, maybe bad things happen because it’s the only way we can keep remembering what good is supposed to look like.”

“There was a part of her that wondered what would happen if she let them all in on the secret- that some mornings, it was hard to get out of bed and put on someone else’s fake smile; that she was standing on air, a fake who laughed at all the right jokes and whispered all the right gossip and attracted the right guy, a fake who had nearly forgotten what it felt like to be real… and who, when you got right down to it, didn’t want to remember, because it hurt even more than this.”

“Sometimes [she] thought of her life as a room with no doors and no windows. It was a sumptuous room, sure… but it was also a room from which there really wasn’t an escape. Either [she] was someone she didn’t want to be, or she was someone who nobody wanted.”
