“You can't plan for everything or you never get started in the first place.”

“You can't just plan a moment when things get back on track, just as you can't plan the moment you lose your way in the first place.”

“All you create is greater dispair in these girls' lives for you can't mourn the loss of something you never knew about in the first place.”
