Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.

If God wanted us to act on instinct, we wouldn't have the power of reason.

It takes two people to make a lie work: the person who tells it, and the one who believes it.

The process of growing up was nothing more than figuring out what doors hadn't yet been slammed in your face.

Life could take on any number of shapes while you were busy fighting your own demons. But if you were changing at the same rate as the person beside you, nothing else really mattered. You became each other's constant.

You know what the difference is between a dream and a goal?... A plan.

I know what it's like to start something and have it suddenly grow out of control. And you want to get rid of it, because it's hurting you and everyone else around you, but every time you try to do that, it consumes you again.
