“...some things, like love, might be worth hoping for. That it was okay to long for it, even in the face of the impossible.”

“It's okay to love someone who doesn't love you back, as long as they're worth loving.”

“But things work out, you know? Even if it doesn't feel okay for a long time, or even if it feels lke things will never be okay again, everything works out in the end.”

“that there are many things that we cant understand. the past. the bad things that happened... and we become afraid. of what might happen in the future. its okay to be afraid. but we have to keep hoping and believeing... to keep hoping and trying our best to be good and do good. even when we're afraid”

“It sounds dumb, but one of the first things I'd thought of was that I'd look like the Vandy: covered in swirling purple markings, even on my face. It wouldn't be an easy thing to explain away in the human world, but I was hoping "crazy spring break" might work.”

“I might be clueless about many, many things, but even I know that I can’t make someone like me.  If someone likes you, they’ll realize it.  And then it will be worth the wait.”
