If you're just safe about the choices you make, you don't grow.
— Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out...
— What easy way? There is no easy way, no matter what I do, somebody gets hurt.
You don`t get to choose if you get hurt in this world but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.
Even now I believe for the most part love is about choices. It’s about putting down the poison and the dagger and making your own happy ending … most of the time. And that sometimes despite all your best choices and all your best intentions, fate wins anyway.
I don't stand for the black man's side, I don' t stand for the white man's side. I stand for God's side.
The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don't know what the hell they're doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall. Decaf. Cappuccino.
Sometimes you’ve got to do what you think is right and damn the consequences.
