But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful.

The trick is to begin looking for the grace hidden beneath the struggle.

Good friends don't let you do stupid things.

I'm so proud of you for changing and getting your life straight with god!

You are a son to me, that to my father I couldn't be. I love you.

Someday, you will find the one who will watch every sunrise with you until the sunset of your life.

Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.
