"When I lost her I gained the future, because she was my past, and she freed me to become who I was born to be."

"Often, it’s not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don’t know how to be."

"I’ve changed, and she’s changed, but we haven’t changed together. We were in separate dressing rooms the whole time we dated."

"A man's growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends."

"The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving."

"To be ignorant is to waste the talents you were born with. To be ignorant is to confine your life to a path no different than the generations before you"

"Thought breeds thought; children familiar with great thoughts take as naturally to thinking for themselves as the well-nourished body takes to growing; and we must bear in mind that growth, physical, intellectual, moral, spiritual, is the sole end of education."

"There is a time in life when you expect the world to be always full of new things. And then comes a day when you realise that is not how it will be at all. You see that life will become a thing made of holes. Absences. Losses. Things that were there and are no longer. And you realise, too, that you have to grow around and between the gaps, [...]"

"We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth."

"Time stood still so she learnt to alter her focus."

"Growth is the only evidence of life."

"By daily dying, I have come to be."

"Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape."

"My destination is no longer a place, rather a new way of seeing."

"Lineage, personality, and environment may shape you, but they do not define your full potential."

"Sometimes the door closes on a relationship, not because we failed but because something bigger than us says this no longer fits our life. So, lock the door, shed a tear, turn around and look for the new door that's opened. It's a sign that you're no longer that person you were, it's time to change into who you are. It's going to be okay."
