“Today, I don't believe in destiny. But I do believe in history...There's nothing more powerful than history...”

“there's nothing more intimate in life than simply being understood. And understanding someone else.”

“Don't go to eighth grade...don't talk about something old...don't bring up old memories that have nothing to do with who we are now. THIS is all that matters! TODAY.”

“History doesn't choose individual people. History chooses everyone. Every day. The only question is: How long will you ignore the call?”

“In this world, there was nothing scarier than trusting someone. But there was also nothing more rewarding.”

“There's nothing wrong with wanting someone to save us - or admitting we can't do it all ourselves.”

“...history is a selection process - it chooses moments and events, and even people - it hands them a situation that they shouldn't be able to overcome, and it's in those moments, in that fight, that people find out who they are.”
