“The complaint lies with me, not with you. I never could find a way to make you proud of me, and at some point, I think I stopped trying. When you were here, I blamed you for that. I think now, the failure is mine... It occurs to me that death is a funny thing - not funny in a laughter sort of way, but in a twisty sort of way. It's the people who are left behind who have to grapple with the regret. The one who is gone is just gone. Wherever you are... I hope you have regret about what happened yesterday.”

“We never have that kind of fun now. Thinking of that made me sad. I hope we can have fun again sometime. I found out that I still know how. Maybe you still know how too.”

“Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.”

“I think that people who stand up for what they believe in, no matter how unpopular, should be celebrated, not cast aside.”

“I hope you do exist. Even though hope is as intangible as belief, I am not hostile to it.”

“For everything I wished were different about the old man, I found comfort in just as many things that never changed.”

“I prefer facts, but sometimes sense is all you have to go on.”
