Sometimes it's worth lingering on the journey for a while before getting to the destination.
People who are crazy rarely question whether they're crazy.
Life, unfortunately, doesn't seem to care what we want.
The greatest changes in history have come when people were able to shake off what others told them to do.
Life’s like that. As we grow and change, some things we’ve experience before take on new meaning. It’ll happen for the rest of your life.
The future is always changing. If we had no choices, there'd be no point in living.
I don't care," said Seth. "I would have done it. I would have sold my soul for you. You and me...I told you. Something's always going to keep us near each other...even if we aren't together.
If you wanted to remold people, you had to break them down first.

He shrugged and leaned casually against the sloping wall. "So am I. I love pity parties. I wish I'd brought the hats. What do you want to mope about first? How it's going to take you a whole day to be popular and loved again? How you'll have to wait a couple weeks before Hollister can ship out some new clothes?
