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

But then again, maybe bad things happen because it’s the only way we can keep remembering what good is supposed to look like.

Hope and reality lie in inverse proportions, inside the walls of a hospital... Doubt is like dye. Once is spreads into the fabric of excuses you've woven, you'll never get rid of the stain.

When you want something bad, you'll tell yourself a thousand lies.

Things break all the time. Day breaks, waves break, voices break. Promises break. Hearts break.

The problem was, you couldn't have one without the other. There couldn't be a bad guy unless there was a good guy to create the standard. And there couldn't be a good guy until a bad guy showed just how far off the path he might stray.

Perhaps he d always known that the truth of a person lies in the heart.
