“there's nothing in the human heart or mind, no place no matter how twisted or secret, that can't be endured - if you have someone to share it with.”

“How small of all that human hearts endure,
That part which laws or kings can cause or cure!
Still to ourselves in every place consigned,
Our own felicity we make or find.
With secret course, which no loud storms annoy,
Glides the smooth current of domestic joy.”

“I not only have my secrets, I am my secrets. And you are yours. Our secrets are human secrets, and our trusting each other enough to share them with each other has much to do with the secret of what it means to be human.”

“Endurance is mind over matter.”

“Some prices are just too high, no matter how much you may want the prize. The one thing you can't trade for your heart's desire is your heart.”

“We all die alone. We shall endure death as once we enjoyed birth. You can't share either experience.”

“Sometimes you have to admit that a relationship can't be fixed. That no matter how much you want to, you can't trust some people.”

“Sometimes, all it takes to become human again is someone who can see you that way, no matter how you present on the surface.”

“I realize full well how hard it must be to go on living alone in a place from which someone has left you, but there is nothing so cruel in this world as the desolation of having nothing to hope for.”

“No matter how much you love someone, you still want to have you own way.”
