2- “Sometimes when you’re young you think nothing can hurt you. It’s like being invincible. your whole life is ahead of you and you have big plans… BIG plans. To find your perfect match – the one that completes you. But as you get older, you realize it’s not always that easy. It’s not until the end of your life that you realize how the plans you made were simply plans. At the end, when you’re looking back instead of forward, you want to believe that you made the most of what life gave you. You want to believe that you’re leaving something good behind. You want it all to have mattered.”
3- “Have you ever wondered what marks our time here? If one life can really make an impact on the world? Or if the choices we make matter? I believe they do. And I believe that one man can change many lives… for better or worse!”
4- “Do you ever wonder how long it takes to change your life? What measure of time is enough to be life altering? Is it four years like high school? One year? An eight week rock tour?

And will their love for you help them to guide you to the light, or will they lose their way in the darkness? Will they make noble choices? Or will that person be untested, someone new? Life comes rushing at you from out of the darkness. When it does, is there someone in your life you can count on—someone who will watch over you when you stumble and fall, and in that moment, give you the strength to face your fears alone?”

Some of us escape the pain of regret by making the right choice. Some of us have little time for regret because we’re looking forward to the future. Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past, and sometimes we bury our regret by promising to change our own ways. But – our biggest regrets are not for the things we did, but for the things we didn’t do. Things we didn’t say that could’ve saved someone that we care about. Especially when we can see the dark storm that’s headed their way.”

There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment who will you be? Will you let down your defenses and find solace in someone unexpected? Will you reach out? Will you face your greatest fear bravely and move forward with faith? Or, will you succumb to the darkness in your soul?”

Or to give someone a second chance.Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.Because it’s only when you’re tested that you truly discover who you are.And it’s only when you’re tested that you discover who you can be.The person you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief…And beyond the heartache and the fear of what lies ahead.”

How many moments of other people’s lives have we been in? Were we a part of someone’s life when their dreams came true… or were we there when their dreams died? Did we keep trying to get in, as if we were somehow destined to be there, or did the shot take us by surprise? Just think… you could be a big part of someone else’s life and not even know it.”

Because we all need a little help sometimes – someone to help us hear the music in the world. To remind us that it won’t always be this way. That someone is out there… and that someone will find you.”
22- “Most of our life is a series of images – they pass us by like towns on a highway.But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image…We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.”
23- “Life is short, and opportunities are rare and we have to be vigilant in protecting them. And not only the opportunities to succeed but the opportunity to laugh, to see the enchantment in the world and to live. Because life doesn’t owe us anything, as a matter of fact, I think that we owe something to the world. And if we can just believe…”

When did we lose our way… consumed by the shadows, swallowed whole by the darkness?”
29- “Do you ever look at a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background? Makes you wonder, how many strangers have pictures of you? How many moments of other peoples’ lives have we been in? Were we a part of someone’s life when their dreams came true? Or were we there when their dreams died? Did we keep trying to get in, as is if we were somehow destined to be there? Or did the shot take us by surprise? Just think. You could be a big part of someone else’s life and not know it.”
