“There are a lot of sad stories. It seems like everybody has one to tell.”

“History repeats itself only in that, from afar, we all seem to lead exactly the same life. We are all born; we all spend time here on earth; we all die. But, up close, we have each walked down our own separate paths. We have stood at our own lonely crossroads. We have touched the lives of others at crucial points, for better or for worse. In the end, each of us has lived a unique life story, astounding and complicated, a story taht could never be repeated.”

“Life is hard when you have no one to stick up for you. People push you around, purely because there's no one to stop them from pushing you around.”

“But be careful about the parts you agree to play...You never know when one is going to stick.”

“I had no night terrors. Maybe when your real life becomes the terror, there's just nothing left to dream about”

“You get as many chances as you want; as many as you dare to make for yourself.”

“Once you've been taken, you usually have twenty-four hours left to live.”
