“Any happiness, no matter how brief, seemed better than the long, simmering torture of waking up day after day, knowing I could never have him.”

“We just have to live each new day as if it’s a precious gift. When I wake up in the morning I like to think that this day will be better than any day I’ve ever lived.”

“There are people who stick in one's memory much more clearly after a brief acquaintance than others whom one sees day after day after a long period.”

“Every day in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better be running.”

“I vowed after that day that I would be your hero too, no matter how long it took”

“Some days seem like the end of your life but then they aren't and you still have to figure out how to wake up again.”
