"Love wins, love always wins."

"Life is a series of pulls back and forth... A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. Most of us live somewhere in the middle. A wrestling match...Which side win? Love wins. Love always wins"

"One day spent with someone you love can change everything."

"Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone."

"When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times."

"Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor.

"You can feel the whole world and still feel lost in it. So many people are in pain-- no matter how smart or accomplished--they cry, they yearn, they hurt. But instead of looking down on things, they look up, which is where I should have been looking, too.

"I give myself a good cry if I need it. But then I concentrate on the good things still in my life. I don't allow myself any more self-pity than that. A little each every morning, a few tears, and that's all."

"Forgive yourself before you die. Then forgive others."

"Ends are for yesterday, not tomorrows."

"When we are most alone is when we embrace another's loneliness."

"Heaven can be found in the most unlikely corners."

"No life is a waste," the Blue Man said. "The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we're alone."

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things.
