“When you lose your face..., it is like dropping your necklace down a well. The only way you can get it back is to fall in after it.”

“You can only know a friend so well after all. When you come right down to it, even your best friend is a puzzle.”

“Make sure when you fall you land on your back if you can see you can get up.”

“Life will hit you hard in the face, wait for you to get back up just so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.”

“Fill your life with trustworthy friends, and don't drop them should you fall in love. They can be your guides should you lose track of what is important.”

“This life will hit you--hard. In the face! It'll wait for you to get back up, just so it can kick you in the stomach. But getting the wind knocked out of you, is the only way to remind your lungs how much they like the taste of air.”
