“Find someone who can hear you even when you’re silent.”

But she’s not like the others; that’s where you made your first mistake.

Sometimes, all it takes to connect with someone is a little bit of the same hurt.

All I want is to bring you the love and the joy that matches all the pain you have ever felt.

Don’t judge her if she’s lived under circumstances you have not.

Darling, you have lived far too much life to be caring what others think of you.

Not all wounds need healing, not all scars are ugly.

Just because she carries it well doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy.

It takes courage to feel, and she’s the bravest person I know.

Careful with this one. She had dethroned kings.

She has every reason to be bitter, and yet her heart beats to the tune of kindness, and her soul dances to the melody of love.

I’m sorry if someone made you feel as though you are difficult to love.

But doesn’t it hurt to feel so much and pretend not to?

Baby girl, don’t ever mistake what you are given for what you are worth.

In love as in life, nothing is really hidden, only ignored.

She’s not just another fish in the sea. She is the ocean.

There’s a message in the way he treats you. Just listen.

She loved me coming and going, at my worst and at my best. She had a bottomless well of love for me.

Families are always rising and falling in America.

We are each other’s harvest; we are each other’s business; we are each other’s magnitude and bond.

Friendships are discovered rather than made.

Sometimes, all it takes to connect with someone is a little bit of the same hurt.

Happiness is being at peace, being with loved ones, being comfortable but most of all, it’s having those loved ones.

Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are friendly with somebody. You can’t have too many friends because then you’re just not really friends.

The closest bonds we will ever know are bonds of grief. The deepest community one of sorrow.
