There is no cosmic scale on which you can weigh your actions; you learn too late what choices ruin the fragile balance.

If you had grown up with me, this is one of the things I would have tried to teach you: Marry a man who loves you more than you love him. Because I have both now, and when it is the other way around, there is no spell in the world that can even out the balance.

If you choose to be looking for something, you'd better be ready for whatever it is you are find. Because it may not be what you've been expecting.

Kid says to me, "You play baseball? What position? Left out?" and gets a big laugh from the rest of the class. Kid is only one person out of 6.792 billion humans on this planet. This planet is only one-eighth of the solar system, whose sun is one of two billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Put it that way, the comment loses it's importance.

What's stronger-the need to uphold the law, or the motive to turn one's back on it?

You may be real, but you're still stuck in a book.

Instead of doing the best thing, we sometimes have to settle for the rightest thing.
