“I was young and not gloomy and there were always strange and comic things that happened in the worst time...”

“There you go! That's better! You look good smiling! You know, you really shouldn't be gloomy all the time. I've met a good amount of gloomy people and they were just that--gloomy. Mopin' around like the end of the world had happened. Thinkin' that if they crack a grin they'll be carried away by goblins and such...”

“Somehow, something always happens just before things get to the very worst. It is as if Magic did it. If I could only just remember that always. The worse thing never quite comes.”

“Bad things are not the worst things that an happen to us. NOTHING is the worst thing that can happen to us.”

“Life wouldn’t be worth living if I worried over the future as well as the present. When things are at their worst I find something always happens.”

“... if you're someone who knows the worst thing can happen at any time, aren't you also someone who knows the best thing can happen at any time too?”
