“It is very sad to me that some people are so intent on leaving their mark on the world that they don’t care if that mark is a scar.”

“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.”
