That's why you did it. You wanted your world to collapse around you. You wanted everything to get as dark as possible.

The main thing I wanted to say, and thankfully it’s what most people say they get out of the book, is simply an acknowledgement that we do affect each other in ways we can’t predict.

No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same.

You can hear rumors. But you can't know them.

You can't stop the future You can't rewind the past The only way to learn the secret ...is to press play.

I've always loved brainstorming with other writers, and I consider having my work critiqued a part of that brainstorming.

And at some point, the struggle becomes too much-too tiring-and you consider letting go. Allowing tragedy... or whatever... to happen.

You can't go back to how things were. How you thought they were. All you really have is...now.

Everything...affects everything

After all, how often do we get a second chance?

In the end....everything matters.

your gonna meet new people, but be careful most of them are 2 faced. But remember the most important people is God and family aren't 2 faced so look up to the ones that are important in your life.

To live fully, we must learn to use things and love people, and not love things and use people.

As beliefs, energies, and acceptance can change, so can choices. Don’t feel that because you have made a choice, it has to last forever. If it is time to change a choice, change it!

When did it - When did it become okay for someone to hit home runs and forget how to play the rest of the game?

To have read the greatest works of any great poet, to have beheld or heard the greatest works of any great painter or musician, is a possession added to the best things of life.

I was posing as a 9-year-old girl who was a blue-ribbon prizewinner; she rode on a Shetland pony, the small horse that was the appropriate size for her.

I always want to be the best at whatever I'm attempting to do.

The process of art-making is full of happy accidents - what fun!

Sometimes you need lies to stay alive.

Our greatest longing is to be intimate.
