“You don’t just fly up a hill. You struggle slowly and painfully up a hill, and maybe, if you work very hard, you get to the top ahead of everybody else.”

“Just say something real. Everyone just always tries so hard, and it all comes out the same. I just want someone to say something real.”

“But you're almost eighteen. You're old enough. Everyone else is doing it.And next year someone is going to say to someone else 'but you're only sixteen, everyone else is doing it' Or one day someone will tell your daughter that she's only thirteen and everyone else is doing it. I don't want to do it because everyone else is doing it.”

“If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.”

“Life is a roller coaster, you can scream whenever their is a bump or you can just put your hands up and enjoy the ride”
