Everyone thinks you make mistakes when you're young. But I don't think we make any fewer when we're grown up

There were lies we told to save ourselves, and then there were lies we told to rescue others. What counted more, the mistruth, or the greater good?

We could all be lucky. We could all be what we want to be, instead of who someone else told us to be.

Hopefully, more and more people will come to understand that a child who's "different from" is not one who is "lesser than."

You know, he told me once, completely exasperated, you've got one glass of water inside your head, with all the tears for a lifetime. If you waste them over nothing, then you won't be able to cry for real when you need to.

There's got to be a moment when that baby [flying] squirrel looks from the end of one branch to the tree six feet away and thinks twice about making a leap. Falling in love is no different; it's the moment that we close our eyes and throw away everything that seems reasonable and hope to God there's someone or something waiting to catch us on the other side.

God doesn't give people burdens they can't handle.
