“Is Fate getting what you deserve, or deserving what you get?”

“It doesn't take a whole long life to realize that what we deserve to have, we rarely get.”

“i don't know. i don't care. all i know is when you pay for something that's supposed to give you a cup of coffee, you deserve to get your fucking cup of coffee.”

“What he did was wrong. He doesn't deserve your love. But he does deserve your forgiveness, because otherwise he will grow like a weed in your heart until it's choked and overrun. The only person who suffers, when you squirrel away all that hate, is you.”

“Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least.”
