The quickest path to self-destruction is to push away the people you love.

Because sometimes you have to suffer without the things you want now so you can have everything you need later.

There are moments in life, and they happen so infrequently that they tend to really stand out, when life hands you the gift of perspective. Sometimes, we forget to show our appreciation. Sometimes, we get our priorities mixed up. And, sometimes, we forget how far we’ve come. But life always has a way of nudging you to remind you about these important things.

Family is not always the people with whom you share DNA. Sometimes, family is the person who fights the hardest for your happiness.

There's a little blackness inside all of us.

Life has shown me all too often that there is no rhyme or reason to the cruelty inflicted upon humanity.

It’s not really the love that I envy, it’s the trust. The feeling that no matter how bad you screw up, there is always someone who will accept you and love you for who you are; not because they have to, just because they can’t not love you.
