I can remember being eight years old and having infinite possibilities. But life ends up being so much less that we thought it would be when we were kids, with relationships that are so empty and stupid and brutal. If you don't find a way to break the chain and change in some way, then you wind up, as the rhyme goes: a murder of one, for sorrow.

You want to embrace, but I can't figure out how to hold on to it.

There is nothing more important you can ever do for this world than to wake up and be a part of it.

If you want to really love someone, you've got to let go and loosen up and just care.

I find that truly heartbreaking that, like, it's such a common, constant thing in people's lives - a brutal abuse of people by other people, and it's just accepted.

I think the biggest, saddest thing that happens in our lives is that we just don't embrace the things that could make it better because they don't seem to make it better at any given moment or we can't decide how to get across the aisle to that person.

Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog where noone notices the contrast of white on white.
