“You don't forget the face of the person who was your last hope.”

“You spend so much time wondering who you are, don't you think? You flounder about, searching for your identity, when most of the time it is plain as the nose on your face. You struggle with questions of purpose and need, and forget that the answers are found mostly inside yourselves.”

“How can you just forget a person completely until the moment you see his face again?”

“You who survive these times must not forget. Forget neither the good nor the bad… I want this to be known: that there were no nameless heroes here; that they were people with names, faces, longings and hopes, and that the pain of the very last of them was no less than the pain of the very first… Man's duty does not end with this fight, for to be a man will continue to demand a heroic heart as long as mankind is not quite human.”

“Whatever you describe to another person is also a revelation of who you are and who you think you are. You can not describe anything without betraying your point of view, your aspirations, your fears, your hopes. Everything.”

“Trouble is a part of your life, and if you don't share it, you don't give the person who loves you a chance to love you enough.”

“A person isn't who they are during the last conversation you had with them - they're who they've been throughout your whole relationship.”

“I'm a romantic; a sentimental person thinks things will last, a romantic person hopes against hope that they won't.”

“My plea to you is this: despite your sadness, do not forget how happy you have made me; do not forget that I loved a man who loved me in return, and this was the greatest gift I could ever hope to receive.”

“Sometimes you don't realize your own strength
Until you come face to face with
Your greatest weaknesses.”
