“We are constructed from the mistakes, pain and heartaches we’ve encountered; some crumble in mental anguish, others adapt, and a few rebuild the broken pieces and are the strongest among us.”

“Some of us learn from other people’s mistakes and the rest of us have to be other people.”

“My heartache, is my mistake you see.”

“Some pains are physical, and some pains are mental, but the one that's both is dental.”

“We all make mistakes, some bigger than others, but none of us is perfect.”

“Little by little, the old world crumbled, and not once did the king imagine that some of the pieces might fall on him.”

“Is it true, O Christ in heaven, that the highest suffer the most?
That the strongest wander furthest and most hopelessly are lost?
That the mark of rank in nature is capacity for pain?
That the anguish of the singer makes the sweetness of the strain?”

“Life has a way of breaking even the strongest among us.”

“I don’t know why we insist on pain when pain is so often easy to eliminate. It’s funny the ways we try to punish ourselves when we feel we’ve committed some crime.”

“Life and those who rear us teach lessons that break us. How we reassemble the broken pieces defines what we become.”
