People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.

I AM IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.

The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection.

Inside every cynical person, there is a disappointed idealist

Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you mad.

The past is but the beginning of a beginning, and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.
