My life wasn’t how I planned it would be. It wasn’t even close. It was a thousand times better.

When you find someone you want to spend forever with you, you don't let them go, whether forever turns out to be a day or a year of fifty years. Don't let the fear of losing them keep you from loving them.

Black absorbs all color, accepts them, takes them into it and let them define it. Gray isn't anything but itself. It absorbs nothing but itself.

Ease my suffering. Make me the happiest, most tortured man in the world. Marry me?

I'm always surprised by how many people give up before they enter the room. They buy into the hype - that there are so many more qualified applicants, that no one's hiring - and assume they're not going to get the job.

Jude wasn't just my first love. He was my forever love.
