“Life's too short not to forgive.”

“The honest to God truth is that I'm mad at myself. I should've known better.”

“Henry was right—I let everyone else's feelings affect my decisions. Screw that. I'm taking the ball and running with it. Maybe they're not my top choices, but they're choices that are good for me, choices I can live with. Some things I can't control; but some things I can. And I'm going to.”

“Love hurts worse than getting slammed by a 250-pound linebacker.”

“I lose part of myself that day and I don't want to lose even more.”

“I spent too long worrying about what other people think.”

“I am so lucky. I used to think trust means "never let you down", but really, it's about love. Family can't always help fix a difficult situation, and everybody makes mistakes. We shouldn't expect perfect. But we can hope that the people we love love us enough to try to make it right.”

“Not only can I teach you math, I can teach you math in bed, Jordan. You know, I'll add the bed, you subtract the clothes, you divide the legs, and I'll multiply”

“If you spend all your time thinking about how someone is going to one-up you, you can't put your best foot forward.”

“Why were you watching me change?" I explain. "Uh, 'cause I'm a guy?" He flips the pillow and slaps it, fluffing it. Then he rolls over and closes his eyes again.”

“Sometimes you have to give something up to get something better.”

“I have a billion what-ifs and no way forward.”
