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

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?

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 was impossibly beautiful. If she didn’t exist, she’d have to be invented.

If he can’t hear you when you’re silent, he won’t hear you when you’re not.

What you see is what you get. She’s already magic; she doesn’t need tricks.

Your smile is like a salve for my soul.

It’s not that she’s afraid to fall in love, she’s just afraid to be the only one who falls.

Believe me when I say that I will find endless ways to make sure you know what a prize you are.

She doesn’t need to be alone to be lonely. She doesn’t need to speak to be heard.

Yes, she has more than a few regrets. And if you don’t, then you should probably live more.

There’s a big chasm between him telling you you’re a priority versus him treating you like a priority.

Do not mock a pain you have not endured.

There is no greater mistake in life than seeing things or hearing them at the wrong time.

It takes sixty-five thousand errors before you are qualified to make a rocket.

There are two things at which most men are grieved: when their faults are exposed, and when their virtues are concealed.

Particularly in the final stages I always find that I’m rushed. It’s dangerous when you’re rushed in the editing stage, most of my early films are flawed in the cutting.

If you don’t make mistakes, you don’t make anything .

My mistakes are my life.

If the world offered nothing, nowhere to support or make bearable whatever her private grief was, then it is that world, and not she, that is at fault.

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
