I didn't like it when he looked at me like that. I could never escape the feeling that i was being compared to someone else.

Some mistakes... Just have greater consequences than others. But you don't have to let the result of one mistake be the thing that defines you. You, Clark, have the choice not to let that happen.

Just live well. Just live

I had a hundred and seventeen days in which to convince Will Traynor that he had a reason to live.

Only you, Will Traynor, could tell a woman how to wear a bloody dress.

Live boldly. Push yourself. Don't settle.

I want him to live if HE wants to live. If he doesn't, then by forcing him to carry on, you, me..... we become just another shitty bunch of people taking away his choices.

I needed to tell him, silently, that things might change, grow, or fail, but that life did go on. That we were all part of some great cycle, some pattern that it was only God's purpose to understand.

I liked the fact that I could be who I wanted to be without my sister's voice reminding me of who I had been.

You cut yourself off from all sorts of experience because you tell yourself you re not 'that sort of person

It seemed unfair that despite the fact he could not use them, or feel them, his extremities should cause him so much discomfort.

Men love pleasure. but women desire purposeful commitment.

As lacking in privacy as a goldfish.

Don't wallow in failure. Instead, learn from it.

Be stupid, be dumb, be funny, if that's who you are. Don't try to be someone that society wants you to be, that's stupid. So be yourself.

Don't hate on my fans. Hate on me.

Hard work is not punishment. Hard work is the price of admission for the opportunity to reach sustained excellence

I laugh a lot inside and outside, and at myself sometimes.

I believe in the country America used to be.

It is stupid on my part to think of banning the media.

Our lives are short and everything sort of regresses to the mean.
