"The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself."
"If people are going to be allowed to say "we love you"and "I love you", they'd better have the backbone to prove it. Love isn't just a word."
""You shouldn't feel so bad about being afraid of so many things.""Why not?""Because if you weren't afraid never ever, then you couldn't be brave never ever."
"I have learned, that the person I have to ask for forgiveness from the most is: myself. You must love yourself. You have to forgive yourself, everyday, whenever you remember a shortcoming, a flaw, you have to tell yourself "That's just fine". You have to forgive yourself so much, until you don't even see those things anymore. Because that's what love is like."
"I think that the best thing we can do for our children is to allow them to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong, allow them to experience life on their own terms, allow them to take the subway... let them be better people, let them believe more in themselves."
"In case you never get a second chance: don't be afraid!""And what if you do get a second chance?""You take it!"
