Life goes on is a redundancy. Life is defined by its going on.

The important thing is for the characters to feel real, and to be given the humanity they are due. That granting of humanity is what separates a full portrait from a stereotype.

I'm always standing on the edge of something bad.

Do not just seek happiness for yourself. Seek happiness for all. Through kindness. Through mercy.

I don't even know what I'm looking for, although I hope I'll know it if I find it along the way. Sometimes I want to simplify my life into a simple bare thing. And other times I want to complicate it so thoroughly that everything I touch will become bound in some way to me. I've become quite aware of my contradictions, but there's no true resolution in that.

I see no sin in a kiss. I only see sin in the condemnation

Life tells you to take the elevator, but love tells you to take the stairs.
