    Elsa decides that even if people she likes have been shits on earlier occasions, she has to learn to carry on liking them. You’d quickly run out of people if you had to disqualify all those who at some point have been shits. She thinks that this will have to be the moral of this story.

    Only different people change the world,” Granny used to say. “No one normal has ever changed a crapping thing.”
  • Rebecahas quoted2 years ago

    “Stop fussing. You sound like your mother. Do you have a lighter?”
    “I’m seven!”
    “How long are you going to use that as an excuse?”
    “Until I’m not seven anymore?”

    And being special is the best way of being different.

    “People drink wine to forget things that are hard, right?”

    “Or to have the strength to remember. I think.”

    The mightiest power of death is not that it can make people die, but that it can make the people left behind want to stop living,
