AIDAN CHAMBERSThe pleasure of being bored ismooning about and doing nothing.
AIDAN CHAMBERSHow do I think of you? As someone I want to be with. As someone as young as me, but “older,” if that makes sense. As someone I like to look at, not just because you’re good to look at, but because just looking at you makes me smile and feel happier.
AIDAN CHAMBERSI don’t write books for entertainment, for people to pass the time then throw away.
AIDAN CHAMBERSThere are times when you don’t know yourself. There are times when you don’t want to know yourself.
AIDAN CHAMBERSIf a boy, if a man, asks you if you’re all right and you say yes, he’ll always believe you and get on with what he wants to do. It’s just the way they’re made.

AIDAN CHAMBERSAnd when someone else speaks your name you feel pleased. You feel wanted. You feel there. Alive.

AIDAN CHAMBERSThe plain unwelcome fact is that sometimes life stymies you.
AIDAN CHAMBERSAll the time I think I can never love you more than I already do. And then you do something or say something, and I love you more than ever.
AIDAN CHAMBERSYour weak weaknesses are no use to them…. They find the strongest weaknesses you didn’t know were yours and use those against you.
