“He knew sometimes some fear can be good. When you are afraid things are going to get worse if you don't do something, it can prompt you into action. But it is not good when you are afraid that it keeps you from doing anything.”

“A lot of people like to do certain things, but they're notthat good at it. Keep going through the things that you liketo do, until you find something that you actually seem to beextremely good at. It can be anything.”

“Instead of getting at the other side with something just as bad as they did to you - or something worse - you do something good. Or at least you keep yourself from doing something bad”

“Don't wait for good things to happen. Do whatever you can, wherever, and however. You will be surprised when good things follow.”

“People are afraid of anything they don't understand. When they understand, when they know the truth, they can do something about it.”

“When you can do that, little Wren, when you can accept the wearing down and the eroding, then you can do anything. How did I manage to keep going out nights? I just told myself I didn’t matter all that much—that those in here mattered more. You know something? It’s not so hard really. You just have to get past the fear.”
