Maybe, in the future, you're going to come back, you're going to come back to me. Oh, the only way to really know, is to really let it go..."



"Life is totally fair. We just see it unfair because it's either we expected too much, or we gave up already."
-Gilda Radner

"We're all at war with ourselves, that's what it means to be human. The trick is figuring out how to be on the winning side."


"No one can change a person, but someone can be a person's reason to change."


"Take chances, take a lot of them. Because honestly, no matter where you end up and with whom, it always ends up just the way it should be. Your mistakes make you who you are. You learn to grow with each choice you make. Everything is worth it. Say how you feel, always. Be you, and be okay with it."


"If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business. We'd be too cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down."

"To be a good human being is to have a kind of openness to the world, an ability to trust uncertain things beyond your own control, that can lead you to be shattered in very extreme circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something very important about the condition of the ethical life: that it is based on a trust in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a jewel, something rather fragile, but whose very particular beauty is inseparable from that fragility."
