I can give or take elephants I never can find the cheetah-but the zebras captivate me. They'd be one of the few things that would fit if we were lucky enough to live in a world that's black or white.

The saddest day in the world will be the one when she stops pretending.

People have to experience things that terrify them. If they don't, how will they ever come to appreciate safety?

You know someone's right for you when the things they don't have to say are even more important than the things they do.

Because hate's just the flip side of love. Like heads and tails on a dime. If you don't know what it feels like to love someone, how would you know what hate is? One can't exist without the other.
