“I don't want to stay in the bad place, where no one believes in silver linings or love or happy endings.”

The Silver Linings Playbook
“If clouds are blocking the sun, there will always be a silver lining that reminds me to keep on trying.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“Life is not a PG feel-good movie. Real life often ends badly. Literature tries to document this reality, while showing us it is still possible for us to endure nobly.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“I am practicing being kind over being right.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“You need to make time for your family no matter what happens in your life” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“Life is hard, and children have to be told how hard life can be…So they will be sympathetic to others. So they will understand that some people have it harder than they do and that a trip through this world can be a wildly different experience, depending on what chemicals are raging through one’s mind.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“The only way to beat my crazy was by doing something even crazier. Thank you. I love you. I knew it from the moment I saw you. I'm sorry it took me so long to catch up.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“She looks sad. She looks angry. She looks different from everyone else I know—she cannot put on that happy face others wear when they know they are being watched. She doesn’t put on a face for me, which makes me trust her somehow.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“You need to know it's your actions that will make you a good person, not desire.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“I still love you in my own fucked-up way.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“Life is random and fucked-up and arbitrary, until you find someone who can make sense of it all for you— if only temporarily.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“You're different. And I'm different too. Different is good. But different is hard. Believe me, I know.” ― Matthew Quick, Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock
“Let me tell ya. You gotta pay attention to signs. When life reaches out with a moment like this it's a sin if you don't reach back... I'm telling you.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“It hurts to look at the clouds, but it also helps, like most things that cause pain.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“When she needed help most, she was abandoned—and only when she offered help to others was she beloved.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“I feel like I’m broken—like I don’t fit together anymore. Like there’s no more room for me in the world or something. Like I’ve overstayed my welcome here on Earth, and everyone’s trying to give me hints about that constantly. Like I should just check out.” ― Matthew Quick, Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock
“Not letting the world destroy you. That’s a daily battle.” ― Matthew Quick, Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock
“In my arms is a woman who has given me a Skywatcher's Cloud Chart, a woman who knows all my secrets, a woman who knows just how messed up my mind is, how many pills I'm on, and yet she allows me to hold her anyway. There's something honest about all this, and I cannot imagine any other woman lying in the middle of a frozen soccer field with me - in the middle of a snowstorm even - impossibly hoping to see a single cloud break free of a nimbostratus.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
“There will always be a part of me that is dirty and sloppy, but I like that, just like all the other parts of myself.” ― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook
