“My dad always says, some people will treat you badly and you can't help that. But how you handle it and how it makes you feel, that's up to you.”

“You can't control everything. You can't control how someone feels about you. Or what makes them tick. You can only control how you react, how you act, how you think and feel.”

“So it's not about what you do. It can't be, can it? It has to be about how you are, how you love, how you treat yourself and those around you, and that's where I get eaten up.”

“People treat you as badly as you let them treat you. Key word there: let.”

“How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.”

“You teach people how to treat you.”

“You know how some people, when they're together, they somehow make you feel more hopeful? Make you feel like the world is not the insane place it really is?”

“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.”

“you can't escape the world, and you're not responsible for how you look, if you look beauticious or butt ugly. you're not responsible for how you feel or what you say or how you act or anything you do. it's all out of your hands.”

“It does not matter how badly you paint so long as you don't paint badly like other people.”
