“Be of good heart and good things will always find their way to you even when they seem lost. Be of good heart to show the world that goodness can still live among the cruel and cold. Be of good heart, not because you need to be, because you should be. Always remember, be of good heart.”

“That is the beautiful, sad thing about love, my dear. You see, it can make you soar in the sky without wings, and it can bury you six feet below the ground all at the same time.”

“Encourage me on my bad days, and I’ll always be there for you.”

“Someone once told me about the little gestures of love. That she was a fool for them. That she would choose them over any spoken word in a single heartbeat. That there are so much in such little movements. That they are the reason why she will still believe in love no matter what happens.”

“It is a mark of prudence never to place our complete trust in that which has deceived us even once.”

“I wasn’t kind, but I wasn’t unkind either. I wasn’t anything I guess. I wasn’t anything to anyone at all. I was nothing, a sort of non-being and I just wanted to fall asleep during the day. I let my face drown in the darkness of the pillow and tried to think that it was already night. I was in so much hopelessness. I literally couldn’t walk. I had this body that I needed to clean, feed and control but just thinking about those things made me feel very tired.”
