“Hope keeps you alive.”

“Here's another thing to remember: hope keeps you alive. Even when you're dead, it's the only thing that keeps you alive.”

“A good friend keeps your secrets for you. A best friend helps you keep your own secrets.”

“This is one of my favorite things about the Underground: the crashing of the cymbals, the screeching guitar riffs, music that moves into the blood and makes you feel hot and wild and alive.”

“This is pretty much the answer to every problem you encounter in suburbia: plant a tree, and hope you don't see anyone's privates.”

“That's the thing about best friends. That's what they do. They keep you from spinning off the edge.”

“Is this freedom? Is it happiness? I don't know. I don't care anymore. It is different--it is being alive.”
