Keep in mind that life produces no maestros, only students of varying shades of ineptitude.

The world is not a rational place.

What is genius, anyway, if it isn't the ability to give an adequate response to a great challenge?

Even if you forget everything else I want you to always remember that you are a person of value, and you have a friend who loved you enough to give you his most valued possession.

Why is it I'm always so quick to believe that people are thinking...believing the worst about me?

It seems to me that a man who is incapable of humor is capable of cruelty.

And taking care of somebody else made me feel good. Like discovering you're more than you thought you were. More even than you hoped to be.
