Never invest yourself in anything so deeply that its failure could cost you your happiness.

The strong take from the weak, but the smart take from the strong.

The only things people can ever know about you are the ones that you let them see

Perfection is the natural consequence of eternity: wait long enough, and anything will realize its potential. Coal becomes diamonds, sand becomes pearls, apes become men. It's simply not given to us, in one lifetime, to see those consummations, and so every failure becomes a reminder of death.

...a good friend stands in harm's way for you the second you ask--but a great friend does it without being asked at all.

...we both saw something we liked, a willingness to have no walls, or maybe just an unwillingness to keep them standing.

Hope...which is whispered from PAndora's box only after all the other plauges and sorrows had escaped, is the best and last of all things. Without it, there is onl time. And time pushes at our backs like a centrifuge, forcing us outward and away, until it nudges us into oblivion.
