“We like to say that love is what unites us; however it's fear that we all share.”
“It's natural. Nature is dark and light, birth and death. Everything and its opposite. And in nature there are predators and prey. The hunters and the hunted. The heartbreakers and the heartbroken. The beautiful thing is that Nature lets us choose which we want to be, most people never make the choice though because they don't even know they have it.”

“Do broken hearts make you brave or do they just make you stupid?”
“The most important thing is believing your beautiful. The benefit of improving one's looks lies largely therein.”
