There is something extraordinary about the first time falling.

The beauty of dystopia is that it lets us vicariously experience future worlds - but we still have the power to change our own.

I realize now how much courage it takes to choose the life you want, whatever that might be.

When we read dystopia, we root for these people to break free because we are these people; hoping and fighting against things that are bigger than ourselves.

Red is the first color of spring. It's the real color of rebirth. Of beginning.

In the end you can't always choose what to keep. You can only choose how you let it go.

Growing apart doesn't change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side; our roots will always be tangled. I'm glad for that.

Every minute you spend with someone gives them a part of your life and takes part of theirs.

It is strange how we hold on to the pieces of the past while we wait for our futures.

This is a difficult balance, telling the truth: how much to share, how much to keep, which truths will wound but not ruin, which will cut too deep to heal.

Forgetting lets you live without the pain for a moment but remembering hits hard.

I should like the fields tinged with red, the rivers yellow and the trees painted blue. Nature has no imagination.

Don't agree and believe that success comes free... Gold on the floor is a lie! You must dig deep and then you will reap big!

Actors I admire? Ed Harris, or course, I think he's terrific; because I know he always had to fight being what he looked like a lot, but I think he's a terrific actor.

I just killed my best friend... and my worst enemy. What's the difference?

There's nothing like work to take your mind off your worries.

Art has the lovely habit of ruining all artistic theories.

Antarctica is otherworldly, like nothing I've ever seen before. Stark, cold, beautiful desolation.

If you do your job right, no one realizes you did your job, and that's a good thing. You strive for that.

The body is only a tool of the mind. What the mind dictates the body will have to obey. Now I do not even think of water. I do not miss it at all.... I see I can do anything.

The democratic thought is based on that 'ordinary people' are suitable to rule themselves.
