'The scariest thing, the most painful thing is... to be hated by someone you truly love.'


'I think I'd like to do something nice for somebody. I think it's good when you smile at somebody and they smile in return. Voluntary love encourages people to create a sense of friendliness. Love that is unconditional gives us respect as people. However, it's wrong to force love to try to keep it alive. If the strain goes on, eventually it will bloom into the flower called lie, the deceptively thorny flower that hurts people.'


'If you only face forward, there is something you will miss seeing. It is a virtue to devote oneself to something, firmly believing in one's own ideals. But that does not mean it's all right to belittle the ideals or feelings of others. If you lead such a busy life, and you don't realize how your parents feel, it's only self-satisfaction. It's all right to stop every now and again if you want a moment's rest, if you want to feel what other people feel.'


'There's something you can't give up. There's something you want to protect. There's a time you must take a stand, no matter what kind of pain awaits us.'


'Over-sensitivity should be attributed to self-pity alone. There are people that truly feel for others whole-heartedly and are attune in such a manner; and I admire that very much in them. Don't stop. There is no "too much" here. I'm glad that love hurts, because for it to hurt, you would have to be sensitive to pain, and the meaning of compassion is as follows: "Deep awareness of the suffering of another coupled with the wish to relieve it.'


'Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.'


'If someone can cause those scars..there is sure to be someone who can heal them.'


'The only dependable thing about the future is uncertainty.'


'When you feel someone's more important thanyourself, it may be love.'


'As long as you don't get your hopes up, you can take anything...You feel less pain.'


'The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're alive.'


'Love means exposing yourself to the pain of being hurt, deeply hurt by someone you trust.'


'People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.'


'Ask me why I keep on loving you when it's clear that you don't feel the same way for me... the problem is that as much as I can't force you to love me, I can't force myself to stop loving you.'
