“If there's anything I hate is someone who questions my credit.”

“The reason we get angry when someone makes fun of you is cause you doubt your ability.”

“You can't hold on, Zoe. Not to hate. Not even to love. You kill things that way. There's only one freedom. Forgiveness. And sometimes the hardest thing to do is to forgive yourself.”

“If you've never known someone your own age who's died, you can't imagine what it feels like. It's as if you were walking on a glass floor and it suddenly shatters and now you're falling and falling and there's broken glass in the air all around you and no bottom in sight.”

“While I hate to ever lose a supporter, I've come to realize that one who would abandon me over a single statement or decision I made is a person who would abandon me sooner or later anyway.”

“I used to think that being consumed by the questions of my identity and origins made me an inferior person, even as a child.”

“There's more to life then living, so hold on.”
