“No matter how dark you are, no matter what you think your heritage is or how inevitable your fall is, you can always make a choice in the next second to be different..”

“The success or failure of any relationship depends not just on how we feel about each other, but on how we make each other feel about ourselves.”

“Don’t think so. We all make our choices, and those choices have consequences.”
