You got dealt some crappy cards. But you're the one who has to decide how to play them.

Sometimes coloring outside the lines can cost you. Only you can figure out if it’s worth it.

Sometimes it was hard to express how much you loved someone. You said the words, but you could never quite capture the depth of it. You could never quite hold someone tightly enough.

I'd been a terrific student. I hadn't wasted a moment of my time in school, and I knew plenty about healing the troubled mind. But no one had taught me a thing about healing the soul

If you have a friend, a good friend, a woman you love, and you learn she’s done something abominable, do you stop loving her?

And I knew I would nevr have that everything's-right-in-my-world feeling again.

It's just that I've learned that somebody's appearance doesn't always match what's going on inside him. You can't look at a guy's face and see his demons.
