easy hard
Things are so easy to do, so hard to undo.
hurt stupid kids
I try to think of a way to get there without going past it. There are lots of ways, but they all have me walking a little farther. And that's stupid, I decide. What am I, a little kid? I can stand to see something it hurts to want. I can see it and then just keep walking. It happens to lots of people everyday. We all survive.
real air heaven
The closer you get to heaven, the less air there is, because when you get to heaven for real, you don't need to breathe anymore.
beautiful world scar
Nobody said it was a beautiful world with no scars.
sex men trying
If you want to see a man come to his senses, try something like, Do you happen to carry a rubber in your wallet? Did I mention I'm not on the pill?
kissing thinking revolution
A kiss, she thinks, has to be entirely balanced -- it has to have a little conflict, a little dialectic, a little revolution.
real filling-up talking
I decided that not talking is like a litmus test for a real friend. You can just sit there and be. Not always be filling up the air with words
stones today ends
I keep telling you the future isn't set in stone. It's not all decided yet. The future is just what's down the road we decided to walk on today. You can change roads anytime. And that changes where you end up.
thinking
I think it's the things we don't talk about that make us old before out time.
kindness home cutting
A genuine act of kindness makes me feel like I really am where you cut underneath anything external, and you become what a human being can really be. It’s like coming home when you give kindness. Kindness changes us, as human beings,
giving-up people pay-it-forward
I guess it's hard for people who are so used to things the way they are - even if they're bad - to change. 'Cause they kind of give up. And when they do, everybody kind of loses.
heart should careful
We should all be much more careful with each other`s hearts.
thinking self views
Most people prefer to think that their resentment is entirely the fault of the person they resent, and that twisted logic seems to make sense in their minds. But it makes no sense to me at all... But it's a popular point of view. Probably because it's so much easier. It relieves you of the burden of any and all self-examination. (Nathan to Nat)
nice want looks
Love always looks nice. I don't really know anyone who doesn't enjoy it when they see it. Anyone who doesn't, I don't really want to know them.
