Favorite Quotes:
“We can’t choose where we come from, but we can choose where we go from there.”
Stephen Chbosky
“Charlie, we accept the love we think we deserve.”
“Just tell me how to be different in a way that makes sense.”
“I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people. Maybe that is what makes people “participate.”
“I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.”
