“Something in me wants more. I can’t rest.”

“Only you can make yourself get better.”

“If nothing else, one day you can look someone straight in the eyes and say ‘But I lived through it. And it made me who I am today.”

“It’s a most distressing affliction to have a sentimental heart and a skeptical mind.”

“I don’t just want words. If that’s all you have for me, you’d better go.”

“as you get older, you realize that you’re not always right and there’s so many things you could’ve handled better, so many situations where you could’ve been kinder and all you can really do is forgive yourself and let your mistakes make you a better person.”

“…and then, I have nature and art and poetry, and if that is not enough, what is enough?”
