I am proud. It will get me into trouble someday, but today it makes me brave

To me, when someone wrongs you, you both share the burden of that wrongdoing—the pain of it weighs on both of you. Forgiveness, then, means choosing to bear the full weight all by yourself.

If you see someone in trouble, you should help them. Experiment or not.

The person you became with her is worth being.

Writing means not just staring ugliness in the face, but finding a way to embrace it.

I have a theory that selflessness and bravery aren't all that different. All your life you've been training to forget yourself, so when you're in danger, it becomes your first instinct

I wonder if fears ever really go away, or if they just lose their power over us.
