If you're not getting hurt, you're not riding hard enough.

It took a lot of work to be perfect.

Some things don't last forever, but some things do.

It was like when you're a little kid and you run into your teacher or librarian at the grocery store or Wal-mart and it's just so startling, because it never occurred to you they existed outside of school.

It wasn't until Kiffney-Brown, when I met Jason Talbot, that I really thought I might actually have one of those boyfriend kind of stories to tell the next time I got together with my old friends. Jason was smart, good-looking, and seriously on the rebound after his girlfriend at Jackson dumped him for, in his words, 'a juvenile delinquent welder with a tattoo'.

So finally, I decided that the best response — the safest — was none at all.

There comes a time in every life when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your heart.
