We're all dying. It's just a matter of when we do. The key is to live as much as we can and love as hard as we're able to before the time comes.

"How can a flower stand in a field with many others who are more beautiful and graceful than she and know that she is the one you want?" "Maybe if the flower stops looking at herself in comparison to others and noticed the fact that I've walked past all the other flowers and stopped right in front of her, getting my hands and knees dirty, laboring under the heat of the sun and the whip of the wind, so I could carefully dig her up and carry her home with me."

It's not all roses and rainbows. Sometimes, thorns will prick you. Sometimes, a storm will catch you off guard. Yup. Love can leave you a bleeding, wet mess with nothing to show for your injuries.

Pride is a salvage affliction. Some people would rather bleed dry before they'd admit they'll die without help. There's very little that separates integrity from pure idiocy.

All my walls were thoroughly and spectacularly annihilated.

You’d save the whole goddamn universe if you have to.

There’s no penance to pay. Just love me. Tell me every day. Be with me. Smile and have fun with me. That’s all I need.
