"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."
"Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and you watch and you work: You don’t give up."
"I notice you, I want to say. Even when no one else does, I do. I will."
"Your soul doesn’t care what you do for a living - and when your life is over, neither will you. Your soul cares only about what you are being while you are doing whatever you are doing."

"Even if we die at 100, we’re still dying young. I want at least 700 years. There’s a lot of travelling and books to read and movies to see. I’m not going to squeeze it all in in 85 years."
"One thing I am certain of, I do not want to be betrayed, but that’s quite hard to say, casually, at the beginning of a relationship.

By betrayal, I mean promising to be on your side, and then being on somebody else’s."
"If there is a God, He will have to beg my forgiveness."

"You don’t need religion to have morals. If you can’t determine right from wrong then you lack empathy, not religion."
