Everything we look for outside is always inside.

I shed skin after skin, seeking my true colors, expecting a rainbow or a stripe of black, but all I get are maps of red. We are all human underneath.

There is no better time to start than now.

His revenge wasn’t loud or nasty. His revenge was silent because growth can not be heard.

When you find yourself in a hole, quit digging.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.

A love so deep the ocean gets jealous.
