Our proximity keeps us honest. Our intentions keep us strangers.

The best friends you will ever have are the ones who don't make you feel like you owe them a damn thing.

It's amazing and sad what we have to do to survive sometimes.

Life owes you nothing. You owe yourself everything.

The future is meant for those who are willing to let go of the worst parts of the past. When you cannot take two steps without turning around to inspect your footsteps, you are getting nowhere fast.

Before you tell yourself its a different scene remember its just different from what you've seen.

Live your life, no matter what that life is.

Bad things happen when good people pretend nothing is wrong.

You ever want to feel powerless? Watch the people you care about being hurt and know there is nothing you can do about it.

Do you serve a purpose, or purposely serve?

Do what you do and mean it every second of the day. If you don't, you're living someone else's life.

The dead and not-yet dead, we are company all together.

I felt lonely, and in full possession of my loneliness. It was the first time I had owned anything of value.

The value of a person shouldn't be decided by the judgements of other people. Kindness brings out the best in us all.

We can heal. Perhaps we can return to that same place we once stood, when we were both young and innocent.

There is ecstasy in paying attention. You can get into a kind of Wordsworthian openness to the world, where you see in everything the essence of holiness.

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness.

Like a blind spinner in the sun,I tread my days:I know that all the threads will runAppointed ways.I know each day will bring its task,And being blind no more I ask.

Thought can wing its way Swifter than lightning-flashes or the beam That hastens on the pinions of the morn.

When people start hurling insults at you, you know their minds are closed and there's no point in debating. You disengage yourself as quickly as possible from the situation.

People will tell you anything but what they do is always the truth.
