There are other people who have it a lot worse

I guess when you see somebody in the hallway or on the field or something, it's nice to know that they are a real person.

My dad said I did the right thing. I hope I did, but it's hard to tell sometimes.

If you care about somebody, you should want them to be happy. Even if you wind up being left out.

I used to listen to it all the time when I was little and thinking about grown-up things. I would go to my bedroom window and stare at my reflection in the glass and the trees behind it and just listen to the song for hours. I decided then that when I met someone I thought was as beautiful as the song, I should give it to that person. And I didn’t mean beautiful on the outside. I meant beautiful in all ways.

I really do love my sister. Especially when she's nice.

To tell you the truth I love Sam. It's not a movie kind of love either. I just look at her sometimes and I think she is the prettiest and nicest person in the whole world.
