I realize thirty is just a number, that you're only as old as you feel and all that. I also realize that in the grand scheme of things, thirty is still young. But it's not that young.

Life's not black-and-white. Sometimes the ends justifies the means.

I love him wholly and unconditionally and without reservation. I love him enough to sacrifice a friendship. I love him enough to accept my own happiness and use it, in turn, to make him happy back.

No, scratch the word "career." Careers are for people who wish to advance. I only want to survive, draw a paycheck.

We have ourselves to save.

People only know what they see on TV.

Metaphysics must be based on what exists, for it has the task of explicating it.

You cannot measure the loss of a human life. It's all the things a person was, all their dreams, all the people who loved them, all they hoped to be and could give back to the world.

I have had all the disadvantages required for success.

No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
