If you hold a bird too tightly, you'll crush its wings

Only someone who had cried a great deal understands why someone else wants to stop the tears.

Love … I put so much faith in it. Truth … I kept believing it falls always from the lips of the one you love and trust the most. Faith … it’s all bound up to love and trust. Where does one end and the other start, and how do you tell when love is the blindest of all?

Life is like that - twenty minutes of misery for every two seconds of joy.

We lived in the attic, Christopher, Cory, Carrie, and me, Now there are only three.

Love, how often that word came up in books over and over again. If you had wealth and health, and beauty and talent...you had nothing if you didn't have love. Love changed all that was ordinary into something giddy, powerful, drunken, enchanted.

Maybe thats because we take criticism best from those we love and those who love us-Ethan
