“I encourage you to accept that you may not be able to see a path right now, but that doesn't mean it's not there.”

“I know you may feel so far that circumstances have directed your path, but right now I want you to know that you do have a choice.”

“What? Just because I can't have you right now, doesn't mean I'm okay with him having you.”

“I just want silence... Jesus, it doesn't mean I don't like you. It just means right now, I like silence more.”

“It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.”

“The land, now, well I'll tell you how I feel about that. It's done a good job, as good as it was able to, anyway, and it's got a right to look tired. It'd be pretty upsetting if it looked any other way. Yes, and the hardness is all right, too. It's been through something pretty hard, and some of that hardness was bound to rub off. And sometimes a frown sets a lot better with you than a smile. Something that's taken a beating, you don't want to see it laugh. And just because it's stopped laughing doesn't mean it'll never laugh again.”
