“You can't ever tell what's going to hurt people.”

“Tell me where it hurts, she'd say. Stop howling. Just calm down and show me where.

But some people can't tell where it hurts. They can't calm down. They can't ever stop howling.”

“Life is amazing, isn't it? You can't ever tell what will happen. Nobody knows until they go ahead and play the game.”

“Here's what no one ever tells you about love: it hurts, having your heart broken”

“Life is so damned hard, so damned hard… It just hurts people and hurts people, until finally it hurts them so that they can't be hurt ever any more. That's the last and worst thing it does.”

“You don't want to let go, but don't want to be hurt, either. It's not a great place to be but what can I tell you?”

“You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.”

“Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period.”

“So what, ghosts can't hurt you. That's what I thought then.”

“Tell them there are no holes for your fingers in the masks of men. Tell them how could you ever even hope to love what you can't grab onto.”
