Some mistakes... Just have greater consequences than others. But you don't have to let the result of one mistake be the thing that defines you. You, Clark, have the choice not to let that happen.

How could you live each day knowing that you were simply whiling away the days until your own death?

Just live well. Just live

You know, you spend your whole life feeling like you don't quite fit in anywhere. And then you walk into a room one day, whether it's at university or an office or some kind of club, and you just go, 'Ah. There they are.' And suddenly you feel at home.

Do you know how hard it is to say nothing? When every atom of you strains to do the opposite? I had practiced not saying anything the whole way from the airport, and it was still nearly killing me.

You only get one life. It's actually your duty to live it as fully as possible.

If I don't cry while writing a key emotional scene, my gut feeling is it's failed.
