“It's hard to maintain a reputation for being grim and mysterious when you're accompanied by a brightly clad young thing, skipping merrily along at your side, holding your hand, and smiling sweetly on one and all.”

“Your reputation is in the hands of others. That's what the reputation is. You can't control that. The only thing you can control is your character.”

“Hold a book in your hand and you're a pilgrim at the gates of a new city.”

“You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good;
You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood.
It's alright, it's alright;
Sometimes that's what it takes.
You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes.”

“I laughed as we turned in a tight circle… "Tonight you're all mine."

Jake smiled but looked me dead in the eye. "No. From now on."

My heart skipped. "What?"

"Yours," he said simply, "from now on.”

“When'er with soft serenity she smiled,
Or caught the orient blush of quick surprise,
How sweetly mutable, how brightly wild,
The liquid lustre darted from her eyes?”

“I love you. I love your smile, your snarl, your grin, your face when you're sleeping.”

“Your reputation is what you're perceived to be,
Your character is what you really are”

“Never stop smiling not even when you're sad, someone might fall in love with your smile.”

“Your tears come easy, when you're young, and beginning the world. Your tears come easy, when you're old, and leaving it.”
