Live boldly. Push yourself. Don't settle.

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.

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.

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 design therefore I become.

It needs more skill than I can tell To play the second fiddle well.

God's mill grinds slow, but sure.

Look what happened with the employment law in France-the law was withdrawn because the people marched in the streets. I think what we need is a global protest movement of people who won't give up.

I don't always expect good from people. I always expect the bad and I am pleasantly surprised when they are nice.

But if it's true it's beautiful. Truth is beautiful. And so my whole work is about what amounts to a reverence for life itself.

I feel quite lost INSIDE myself, like I'm looking for my train tracks for my life, as if they would just appear and solve the growing questions I seem to face (my reflection in the morning).
