As an American I wanted to explore... why are we the only first world country that still has capital punishment? Is it because we're too afraid to really examine the system, or is it because we really truly believe that this is the best way to deter future crime?

Once you had put the pieces back together, even though you may look intact, you were never quite the same as you'd been before the fall.

You would be surprised at the lengths you will go to believe the best about someone if you truly love him

It seems to me that no matter what religion you subscribe to, acts of kindness are the stepping-stones to making the world a better place--because we become better people in it.

I know that there will be other women, but they couldn't compare. Maybe I'll change, maybe love will change, but I think we were a once-in-a-lifetime. You could never leave me; that's why I am not more upset. You can't possibly break these feelings. They stretch, and they last.

What's worse ...? The devil you don't know ... or the devil you do?

The saddest day in the world will be the one when she stops pretending.
