1 " The thing is, you can't just be yourself if whenever people look at you they see something entirely different "
― Rahul Kanakia , We Are Totally Normal
2 " The thing no one understands about me is that sometimes, once in a while, I get this feeling like I can do anything, and that feeling is so rare and so beautiful that it's really hard not to simply surrender to it. "
― Rahul Kanakia , Enter Title Here
3 " I'm not a sympathetic main character. My quirks are not lovable. I am not clumsy. I am not overwhelmed by life. I am not unlucky in love. "
4 " It was a Machiavellian scheme. I am a Machiavelli. I'm like twelve Machiavellis, in fact.""You are no Machiavelli. You are one gossipy little bitch. "
5 " There's something very appealing about the word anything. Anything. Anything. Anything. I am capable of anything. "
6 " Writing is too silly for me. There are no rules. One person tears apart everything you write while another person praises it to heaven. Doctoring isn’t like that. "
7 " If being forced to read Pride and Prejudice in the tenth grade had taught me anything, it's that I actually needed two guys: a stolid, mildly rude one—Aakash—and a dangerous-but-charming one. In the end, I'd go for the former, of course. "
8 " I wrote something incredibly sappy and thought about deleting it. But you know what? Text messages are for saying the things you're afraid to say aloud. "
9 " I had no emotions left: I was a candle that'd burned all the way down. "
10 " It’s funny how some things hurt more than others. I suppose I’d always suspected that my real self would be too much for any guy to handle, so when George said those things, it wasn’t that bad. Instead, I was like, Oh yeah, I already knew that. "
11 " And I know that when you win by cheating and maneuvering and scheming, it’s supposed to taste like ashes in your mouth, but it didn’t. It tasted…it tasted like relief. It tasted like, thank God, my life can finally begin. "
12 " You know, it’s so typical that you’d equate ‘She’s not a good a person’ with ‘I don’t like her.’ The truth is that I really don’t care how good or how evil a person is. If you’re electing a president, then you want a good person. But when you’re choosing your friends, you just want someone who understands you. "
13 " Nowadays, I try not to destroy people unless I am at least 90% sure that they deserve it. "
