“Sorry but nothing of much importance ever happened to me...I'm just a girl who forgot to look both ways before crossing the street.”

“I have noticed that even those who assert that everything is predestined and that we can change nothing about it still look both ways before they cross the street.”

“A pessimist is a man who looks both ways when he crosses the street.”

“I know you look both ways before you cross the street, but I want you to look both ways a second time, because I told you to.”

“I'm sorry, but nothing 'just happens'. Stuff happens because either we make it happen or we let it.”

“That’s it, Red, get mad. That’s the girl I know. I don’t know the other girl who walks around like a ghost,” he says angrily, “The girl who has given up everythin’ that was ever important to her just ‘cuz her boyfriend dumped her.” “I’m sorry I haven’t been yer friend. I’m sorry I busted the firewall ya bought me… and I’m sorry yer heart got broken,”
