“Seventeen's not a good age. That's when you realize that you have a heart. That's when feelings get in the way of thinking.”

“That's what happens when you're the good guys; you let love get in the way.”

“You know that moment when you hug somebody, when your heart feels warm and high in your chest and tingly? When you feel just for a second like a baby in a womb... that nothing matters? That's how I want you to feel. That's what a girlfriend should do, I think.”

“When you look back and realize there is no way you would have had a better life with another person, that's when the relationship or marriage becomes worth it.”

“But that's life. That's what you learn from; when things happen. Especially at your age. You just have to take it in and remember to think afterwards and not forget and never grow bitter.”

“That's one of the first things that comes out of young people's mouths when they're in love. FOREVER. And that's cool, it's all good-until you get old enough to realize what forever is.”
