“You ever want to feel powerless? Watch the people you care about being hurt and know there is nothing you can do about it.”

“Sin is a matter of opinion. Sins are only sins if you are hurting other people.”

“The best friends you will ever have are the ones who don't make you feel like you owe them a damn thing.”

“I have come to accept myself for what I am: human. I am not perfect. I am not immune to fate, but I am not automatically doomed for being alive. I feel temptations every second of every day and I am not controlled by them. I do what I want anyway, so who is to say I want anything else? When I want, I let these peculiarities run across me like dogs to their masters. When I do not, I keep them at bay with my will and my testimony. I do not cut myself off from what makes me feel; I just refuse to feel anything that cuts me off from what matters most. It is called will power. With a little practice, you can accomplish great things.”

“Watch who you fuck with. You are not always in your territory, even if you think you are.”

“Life owes you nothing. You owe yourself everything.”

“I still harbor lingering doubts about most people. I guess I always will.”
