“Pain's not bad. It's good. It teaches you things. Like when you put your hand in fire: Ow! You know not to do that again.”

“When you put your hands and mind and heart into the knowing of a thing… there is no room in you for fear.”

“When you put down the good things you ought to have done, and leave out the bad ones you did do — well, that’s Memoirs.”

“You put your hand on Corinne's back like this again and I'm breaking your fingers.”

“You know you're putting a good thing out into the universe when you put on glitter.”

“… when you put your life in a good place, good things follow.”

“Why was the blind guy playing with matches, you ask? Because he's good at it. Anything to do with fire, igniting things, exploding things, things with fuses, wicks, accelerants… Iggy's your man. It's one of those good/bad things.”

“You surround yourself with your pain or you avoid it and let it find you when you are trying to do other things”

“Do your best. That's all you can ask of yourself. If you did your best and things just didn't work out, you don't owe an apology to anyone. And you certainly don't need to feel 'bad' about it -- or, worse yet, guilty.”

“Whatever you do, do it good at the time. It wouldn’t come exactly the same in your lifetime again; if at all, it even come. Though, only bad things bounce back in many folds than that of good. Because, good things in general are linked to posterity.”
