“My idea of perfect is being too busy laughing at yourself to care what you look like”

“I crossed a line by making his family's personal business my own. But isn't that what friendship is? Isn't that what love is? It's more than caring and laughing and inspiring. It's about taking hurt and anger off people's shoulders and helping to carry the weight. It's more important to love people on the worst days than their best.”

“The idea that one thing that will define you, forever, is pretty amazing," I said. "It makes you choose it more carefully.”

“You see the most when you're not looking for anything in particular...when you look too hard for something, you get nearsighted because you only see what you want to see.”

“Why go out looking perfect and put together? It means you didn’t experience anything. You didn’t take any risks.”

“I care about you. More than I feel safe caring. You make my heart do some really weird things”

“So, that's the secret to happiness? Don't tak life seriously?" I ask."No," she says. "Take life seriously. That you have to do. Don't take yourself seriously, that's the key. Let it all go. Don't care for a second what people think of you. In fact, go out of your way to keep them guessing.”
