It's because you and them were made of the same pieces. And afterwards, when you put yourself back together, some piece of them remained.

Empire State of Mind
Fellini
Witness my greatness! I am the ruler of parks and trees from here until the end of the street, I have howled at the moon until it was mine, I am the master of all I survey and I answer to no one!
The fact that you know nothing about me is a flagrant display of ignorance. I pity you.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world, are the ones who do."

Ready to POP that Bar
Nuts about Chocolate!
"Rayuela" - Julio Cortazar
"Y no le hablo con las palabras que sólo han servido para no entendernos, ahora que ya es tarde empiezo a elegir otras, las de ella, las envueltas en eso que ella comprende y que no tiene nombre, auras y tensiones que crispan el aire entre dos cuerpos y llenan de polvo de oro una habitación o un verso."

Tell them...
"Life is scarier than death" - JSF
“I’m sure people tell you this constantly, but if you looked up ‘incredibly beautiful’ in the dictionary, there would be a picture of you.” “People never tell me that.” “I bet they do.” “They don’t.” “Then you hang out with the wrong people.”
I try not to remember the life that I didn’t want to lose but lost and have to remember.
I needed to see her again, I couldn’t explain my need to myself, and that’s why it was such a beautiful need, there’s nothing wrong with not understanding yourself.
I’m sorry for my inability to let the unimportant things go, for my inability to hold on to the important things.
I thought, it’s a shame that we have to live, but it’s a tragedy that we get to live only one life, because if I’d had two lives, I would have spent one of them with her.
I missed you even when I was with you. That’s been my problem. I miss what I already have, and I surround myself with things that are missing.
We spent our lives making livings.
The memory of his arm wraps around me as his arm used to. Each day has been chained to the previous one. But the weeks have had wings. Anyone who believes that a second is faster than a decade did not live my life.
I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live, Oskar. Because if I were able to live my life again, I would do things differently. I would change my life.
Thinking would keep me alive. But now I am alive and thinking is killing me.
He looked confused, or embarrassed, or surprised, or maybe even mad. I couldn’t tell what he was feeling, because I couldn’t speak the language of his feelings.
“Look at me,” I tried but I couldn’t, she said, “Look at me or leave me. But don’t stay and look at anything else.”
Why didn’t I learn to treat everything like it was the last time, my greatest regret is how much I believed in the future.
“It’s a shame,” she said, “that life is so precious. It makes us worry so much.” “We worry so much, it’s all we do.”

Oh, Harry...
Harry: I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
Sally: You see? That is just like you, Harry. You say things like that and you make it impossible for me to hate you. And I hate you, Harry. I really hate you.
White Horse
Stupid girl, I should have known
I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around
And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry
Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rearview mirror disappearing now
Now its too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now
