“you cannot obtain balance by also seeking imbalance.”

“but not only did you seek to achieve balance in your life but you also sought to achieve imbalance in someone else's.”

“we must follow our own path, and sometimes that path can be laden with bumps and curves and rivers to cross. but we cannot block the paths of our neighbors, for that is not our place. we can only seek to groom and shape our own.”

“Because apart we might be as different as night and day, black and white, right and wrong, but together we create two sides of a whole. Together we balance.”

“Forgetting who you are is so much more complicated than simply forgetting your name. It's also forgetting your dreams. Your aspirations. What makes you happy. What you pray you'll never have to live without. It's meeting yourself for the first time, and not being sure of your first impression.”

“We can only fix our own lives. We cannot play the role of gods in someone else's.”
