“Everyone breaks a little sometimes. That doesn't make you weak. It makes you wounded.”

“Needing someone doesn't make you weak, it makes you feel. And feeling is how you know you're alive. -Jack Reacher”

“[H]iding how you really feel and trying to make everyone happy doesn't make you nice, it just makes you a liar.”

“It's the whole country that makes or breaks a thing like this. New York has very little to do with it. Now if it were a play, it would be different. New York does make or break a play; but it doesn't make or break a book; it doesn't make or break a magazine. The great mass of the readers are outside of New York and the rural districts are what we have got to go for. They don't read much in New York; they write and talk about what they've written. Don't you worry.”

“... we all need a little bit of rescuing from time to time. It doesn't make us weak.”

“It's okay to accept things from people. It doesn't make you weak or helpless.”
