“We all take a beating every day, you know, one way or another.”

“and I wondered if, in the end, this is how all disputes are settled, with a shared silence as things become equal. You take something from me, I take something from you. We all want balance, one way or another.”

“I, I will be king.
And you, you will be queen.
Though nothing will drive them away.
We can beat them, just for one day.
We can be heroes, just for one day.”

“It’s hard to be ignored
When I look at you, you look so bored
My baby, my darling, I’ve been taking a beating…
Well alright (well alright)
It’s okay (it’s okay)
We all get the slip sometimes every day
I’ll just keep it to myself in the sun
In the sun”

“If I had a camera,' I said, 'I'd take a picture of you every day. That way I'd remember how you looked every single day of your life.”

“There is nothing that can take the pain away. But eventually you will find a way to live with it. There will be nightmares. And every day when you wake up, it will be the first thing you think about. Until one day, it will be the second thing.”

“Your heart literally hurts when it's breaking. You can feel it, every beat another ache, and nothing you can do will stop it, either from beating or breaking.”

“To this day, my heart skips a beat every time I hear one of those special bulletins.”

“Still we say as we go,—
"Strange to think by the way
Whatever there is to know,
That shall we know one day."”

“Bad days, good days, ‘I’ll cut you if you look at me the wrong way’ days. I’ll take them all.”
