Love: a single word, a wispy thing, a word no bigger or longer than an edge. That's what it is: an edge; a razor. It draws up through the center of your life, cutting everything in two. Before and after. The rest of the world falls away on either side.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everyone will respect you.

Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
Someday you're gonna look back on this moment of your life as such a sweet time of grieving. You'll see that you were in mourning and your heart was broken, but your life was changing...
Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.
We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.

Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea... and ideas are bulletproof.
Opera is when a guy gets stabbed in the back and, instead of bleeding, he sings.
Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously.
If you care about something you have to protect it ? If you're lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it.
When you have a good friend that really cares for you and tries to stick in there with you, you treat them like nothing. Learn to be a good friend because one day you're gonna look up and say I lost a good friend. Learn how to be respectful to your friends, don't just start arguments with them and don't tell them the reason, always remember your friends will be there quicker than your family. Learn to remember you got great friends, don't forget that and they will always care for you no matter what. Always remember to smile and look up at what you got in life.

Dear future generations: Please accept our apologies. We were rolling drunk on petroleum.
When it was dark, you always carried the sun in your hand for me.
In our time together, you claimed a special place in my heart, one I'll carry with me forever and that no one can ever replace.
