„People tend to take pride in who they are. And that’s a bad idea, because that stops you from becoming who you could be. Because, if you’re proud of who you are, you won’t let that go when it’s necessary; you won’t step away from it.“

„The hole in one's heart gets filled by others around you. Friends won't flock to someone who abandons the memory of his friends and gives up on the world just because things don't go the way he wants them to. That won't help fill the hole in your heart. And people won't help those who run away and do nothing. As long as you don't give up, there will always be salvation.“
