“Being loved is a good thing. A grand thing. The best damned thing of all.”

“It's a good thing to read a lot. It's a good thing to write a lot. The best thing to do is to live a lot. Fall in love. Fall out of love. Make a fool of yourself. Watch other people make fools of themselves. Believe something stupid and then realize you've been tricked. Feel embarrassed. Be brave and bold. Then be cowardly and pathetic. Give a damn about the world outside yourself. Have some very dark nights. It's all good. You'll use all of it.”

“What a grand thing, to be loved! What a grander thing still, to love!”

“What a grand thing, to be loved! What a grander thing still, to love! I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart”

“The best thing you can do is get very good at being you.”

“I don't reckon misery loves any damn thing at all.”
