When I write I am the real me.

A person has to be strong in life. A person must practice strength, even if they don't feel it.

I didn't know how to say goodbye. Words were stupid. They said so little. Yet they opened up holes you could fall into and never climb out of again.

I will stand by you. You must not be afraid. This is a brave land, Susanna, founded by brave people who never shrank from their duty or their vision of freedom. But this land has a future only if each of us stands up for what is right when it is given us to do so.

No one is a virgin, because life has screwed us all.

A person doesn't ask permission to fall in love; not even of themselves.

You don't trade in the devil you know for the one you don't know.
