Even if you do make tons of new friends,” I told him, “try not to forget where you came from, okay?

Love is needing someone. Love is putting up with someone's bad qualities because they somehow complete you.

But you only get so many do-overs in this life, so many chances to, if not change your past, alter your future.

I've given lots of people chances. But there's only so much faith you can have in people.

The thing is, you can’t always have the best of everything. Because for a life to be real, you need it all: good and bad, beach and concrete, the familiar and the unknown, big talkers and small towns.

You're not supposed to have it all figured out in high school. If you knew it all, and it was the best, it's all downhill from there.

I have to admit, an unrequited love is so much better than a real one. I mean, it's perfect... As long as something is never even started, you never have to worry about it ending. It has endless potential.
