“Friends. A simple word, isn't it? It's uttered everyday to almost every person imaginable, who are your friends? I use to think that friends were people you could laugh and talk to. Now I know that friends aren't that, they're the people that touch your heart. They're the people you can spend hours with doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just because it was with them. They're the people you can share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don't judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. You all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs, and smile. You're tied together by love for the other. Friendship is the greatest and strongest thing in the world. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, laughter, tears, love, and my life.”
“You want a heart! You don't know how lucky you are not to have one. Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable. And remember my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.”
“I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies were singing about. Truth is, I don't want to know. Some things are best left unsaid I'd like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can't be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it. I tell you, those voices soared higher and farther than anybody in the gray, dark places dares to dream.”
“Too often we are scared. Scared of what we might not be able to do. Scared of what people might think if we tried. We let fears stand in the way of our hopes. We say no when we want to say yes. We sit quietly when we want to scream. And we shout with the others, when we should keep our mouths shut. Why? After all, we do only go around once. There's really no time to be afraid.”
“I don't care if it hurts. I want to have control. I want a perfect body. I want a perfect soul. I want you to notice when I'm not around.”
“If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame. And though I'll never forget your face, sometimes I can't remember my name.”
“Pretending is something children do. Dreaming is something fools do. But children and fools alike; speak nothing but the truth.”
"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent then history. I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death."
