Top 10 Best Quotes

“It’s easy to do right when everything goes right. But let everything go wrong, and see how difficult it becomes.”

“I shake my head, but I can’t change this. I can only bear the scars, as I have always done, as I ever do.”

“More than most, I know the pain of surviving.”

“But the world moves on, even when you don’t want it to, even when change feels like the end of everything. It never stops. That’s harsh and magical and somewhat comforting because nothing is immutable, however much we want it to be. Moments cannot be caught like fossils in amber, ever- perfect,ever-beautiful. They go dark and raw, full of shadows, leaving you with the memories. And the world moves on.”

“Each love is unique. Special. Giving to one never takes away from another.”

“For love to flourish there has to be trust. Promises don’t matter as much as personal choice.”

“Dying isn’t like living; it requires no effort at all.”

“So I make no effort to hide my pain. I don’t ever put it all on display like this—but for today and all the rest of the days of the trial, I must. My every flinch, every flicker of pain, will be magnified a hundred times over, then dissected by the pundits and talking heads. But I’m told it’s necessary; the world needs to see me vulnerable and wounded. I cannot appear not to care or to lack remorse, but that removes a crucial component of my self- defense mechanism and leaves me bleeding for all the world to see. I suppose that’s rather the point.”

“He’s worth fighting for, but I won’t change who I am for any man. No more than he should alter himself to suit me.”
