“People aren't good or bad. They just do good or bad things. Your only hope is to know which is which.”

“And it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know.”

“You are entering a phase of your life in which many different things will occur...bad things that seem good at first and good things that seem bad at first.”

“I don't think bad people realize they're bad people. I bet they think they're good people who occasionally do bad. Which begs the question . . . how much bad can a good person do before being considered bad?”

“Why do bad things happen to good people?To balance out the good things that happen to bad people.”

“Maybe there aren't any such things as good friends or bad friends - maybe there are just friends, people who stand by you when you're hurt and who help you feel not so lonely. Maybe they're always worth being scared for, and hoping for, and living for. Maybe worth dying for too, if that's what has to be. No good friends. No bad friends. Only people you want, need to be with; people who build their houses in your heart.”
