"Adversity introduces a man to himself."
"If man could write his own fate, he would have designed his journey to be without obstacles. Yet all obstacles come with valuable lessons designed just for you and only you. Suffering is imposed on us time and again so that one day we would become brave wise masters. That is, a strong being who is confidently aware of their intended direction in life, and fearlessly adding value to the world and their future."
"Adversity draws men together and produces beauty and harmony in life's relationships, just as the cold of winter produces ice-flowers on the window-panes, which vanish with the warmth."
"Adversity leads us to think properly of our state, and so is most beneficial to us."

It doesn't work a lot, but I think it's very important to try."

I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and doesn't try to sleep with people even if they could have. I need to know that these people exist."
"I'm not saying she was lying to me, but she just acted so different before I got to know her, and if she really isn't like what she was at the beginning, I wish she could have just said so."
