“It’s hard to wait around for something you know might never happen; but it’s even harder to give up when you know it’s everything you want.”

“And it may look to you like I’m just walking through your city with my head held high. But in my head, I am not in your city.”

There are hundreds of paths up the mountain,
all leading in the same direction,
so it doesn’t matter which path you take.
The only one wasting time is the one
who runs around and around the mountain,
telling everyone that his or her path is wrong.

“Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes when you fall, you fly.”

“Something I’d like people to know: when I say I can’t do this, what I mean is that I can’t do this without losing a part of myself I really want to keep.”

“I’d rather be optimistic and a fool, than pessimistic and right.”

Out of all the lies I’ve heard, “I love you” was my favorite, and “I miss you” was my second favorite.

“They say young is good and old is fine, and truth is cool but all that matters is that you have your good times.”
