Being prepared for loss is never the same as being ready for it.

Lies are like children. If you don't nurture them, they'll never be useful later.

In the end, you'll know which people really love you. They're the ones who see you for who you are and, no matter what, always find a way to be at your side.

The only thing that lasts longer than a friend's love is the stupidity that keeps us from knowing any better.

Slow and steady wins the race, then wastes no time grinding salt-caked glass in your open wounds.

Sometimes the measure of friendship isn't your ability to not harm but your capacity to forgive the things done to you and ask forgiveness for your own mistakes.

A birthday wish granted 23 years late is still a birthday wish granted.
