“The surest way to hurt yourself is to give up on love, just because it didn’twork out the first time.”

“In those moments it's hard to remember that an angry voice is an invisible thing incapable of drawing blood.”

“You can only take steps toward the future you want. It's not guaranteed to be there.”

“You can only take steps toward the future you want. It's not guaranteed to be there. This is why you have to live inside each beautiful or terrible thing as it happens to you because the present may be all you've got. And if there's more ahead then the present is where you can really shape your future.”

“But it was not the note that counted so much as the writing of it.Just because it wouldn’t last forever out there didn’t mean it hadn’texisted. that’s why I was there. I was there for a moment. Andbecause of a string of beautiful moments spent at that very sameplace, moments I would keep inside me wherever I went.”
