“To learn which questions are unanswerable, and not to answer them: this skill is most needful in times of stress and darkness.”

“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”

“Bad days happen to everyone, but when one happens to you, just keep doing your best and never let a bad day make you feel bad about yourself.”

“Some things you forget. Other things you never do.”

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence from every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’”

“Your absence has gone through me…Like thread through a needle. Everything I do is stitched with its color.”
