“There are many things in life that become different if you take a long look at them.”

“So many things become beautiful when you really look.”

“You don’t have to know a lot of things for your life to make a lasting difference in the world. But you do have to know the few great things that matter, perhaps just one, and then be willing to live for them and die for them. The people that make a durable difference in the world are not the people who have mastered many things, but who have been mastered by one great thing.”

“In two years you can love somebody with all your heart and lose them. You can become the very best of friends with someone and then neglect them to the point that they don't expect anything different from you anymore. You can become someone you never expected and forget things you believed you could take for granted about yourself.”

“There are many forms of love as there is moments in time, and you are capable of feeling them all at different stages of your life.”

“If you're looking to take a long, beautiful drive through life, you might not want to take the cynic view.”
