“You can achieve anything you want in life if you have the courage to dream it, the intelligence to make a realistic plan, and the will to see the plan through to the end.”

“Claire: Dear Claire, "What" and "If" are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side-by-side and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life: What if? What if? What if? I don't know how your story ended but if what you felt then was true love, then it's never too late. If it was true then, why wouldn't it be true now? You need only the courage to follow your heart. I don't know what a love like Juliet's feels like - love to leave loved ones for, love to cross oceans for but I'd like to believe if I ever were to feel it, that I will have the courage to seize it. And, Claire, if you didn't, I hope one day that you will. All my love, Juliet”

“I was scared. Do you know what it's like to hold someone else's life inyour hands? It's like playing God. Can you think of anything scarier thanthat?”

“Who are you? Just because you break heartsdoesn't make you a heartbreaker.Just because you get straight A'sdoesn't make you a success.Just because you have a college consultantdoesn't make you college bound.Just because you fail to actdoesn't make you cowardly.Just because you need help,doesn't make you weak.Just because the world sees you as somethingor as nothingdoesn't mean anythingat all.”

“Because there was a hunger in me to see everything and do everything. I wanted to be everyone I saw. I wasn't enough for me. Can you understand that?”

“You [I] have control over three things – what you [I] think what you [I] say, and how you [I] behave. To make a change in your [my] life, you [I] must recognize that these gifts are the most powerful tools you [I] possess in shaping the form of your [my] life.”

“You have two choices. you can keep running and hiding and blaming the world for your problems, or you can stand up for yourself and decide to be somebody important.”
