“You know, sometimes you've got to trust the people you love. You've got to trust that if they're good people, they'll make good decisions.”

“That's the magic of books. They're never quite the same for any two people. When you read one, you automatically make it your own.”

“I've pursued dreams and achieved them, but I don't think anybody should think their life is incomplete if they don't follow some dream. Happiness doesn't come from achievements, or money, or any sort of treasure. Happiness is a frame of mind, not a destination. It's appreciating what you've got and building relationships with those around you.”

“But that's how life is. You never know how it's going to turn out, and you can't plan for everything. You just have to do your best dealing with things as they come and hope people forgive you when you make a mistake.”

“Yesterday you asked me what the purpose of life is. I've thought about that ever since. I think it's to do good no matter what life throws at you, to not let the pain turn you bitter. It's something we have to learn, something we have to make ourselves become...Little kids don't have to learn it. They already know.”

“Sometimes love not only lifts you to the ceiling, it also keeps your eyes there.”

“The key to happiness - as any good fairy godmother will tell you - is not to avoid problems, but to overcome them.”
