"He who is or has been deeply hurt has a RIGHT to be sure he is LOVED."

-- Jean Vanier

“This be OK?' I asked, innocently. 'You want me to have no skin left?' You rolled your eyes. Actually, don't answer that one.”
“You are really starting to annoy me, Stanton.â€ Nick didnâ€™t blink. â€œGood. By the end of the night I hope to finish the job.”
“When it comes to believing in yourself, put your eye on the mark and donâ€™t blink. If you have a goal, a dream, or an aspirationâ€¦believe in yourself while you are on the way to your destination, and you will have already arrived.”
“They [dogs] never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself, and keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation.”

“The dream in your heart may be bigger than the environment in which you find yourself. Sometimes you have to get out of that environment to see that dream fulfilled. Itâ€™s like planting an oak sapling in a pot. Once it becomes rootbound, its growth is limited. It needs a great space to become a mighty oak. So do you.”
“But I'm not objective when I'm acting.”
“It was almost like I was in the army.”
“If you went crazy, would you know it?”
