“Sometimes it is worth any amount of suffering just to prevent giving your parents the opportunity to be right.”
“Sometimes opportunities float right past your nose. Work hard, apply yourself, and be ready. When an opportunity comes you can grab it.”
“To have the opportunity to know your parents is to have the opportunity to truly know yourself.”
“You need just the right amount of 'Fuck the world' and the right amount of belief in something...and you need the right amount of love.”
“Once in a while, life gives you a chance to measure your worth. Sometimes you're called upon to make a split-second decision to do the right thing, defining which way your life will go. These are the decisions that make you who you are.”
“Time moves funny and it's hard to pin down. Occasionally, time offers you a hundred opportunities to do the right thing. Sometimes, it gives you only one chance.”
