Grief is not as heavy as guilt, but it takes more away from you.

Do remember, though, that sometimes the people you oppress become mightier than you would like.

No matter how long you train someone to be brave, you never know if they are or not until something real happens.

I could never hurt him enough to make his betrayal stop hurting. And it hurts, in every part of my body.

I feel bare. I didn't realize I wore my secrets as armor until they were gone and now everyone sees me as I really am.

Ingenuity requires creativity.

It would be nice if life worked this way, stripping the dirt from our lives and sending us back out into the world clean. But some dirt is destined to lingered.

I think about pressing myself against him, but I can't, because all our secrets would keep a space between us.

You don't have to tell me everything right away, but I have to tell you everything right away? Can't you see how stupid that is?

In life, no two days are the same for me. It's like a snowflake.

I wish I were a girl again, half savage and hardy, and free... Why am I so changed? I'm sure I should be myself were I once among the heather on those hills.

A show of daring oft conceals great fear.

You can game the social media in the short run, but not for long.

Daring enthusiasm And abiding cheerfulness Can accomplish everything on earth Without fail.
