“You get to thinking that maybe the diving line shouldn't be animals and people but good and bad.”

“I know. But maybe that’s what growing up gets you. You get better. You stop waiting for the bad stuff to happen and maybe enjoy the good, you know?”

“When somebody walks out, it leaves a hole in you. Some people fill it up, the good and the bad, and get on that way. Some people leave it open, maybe long enough to heal, maybe too long, picking at it now and then so it doesn't heal all the way.”

Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.”

“I think holidays create so much pressure because people feel they should be having a good time. But you shouldn't. ”
