"My entire life, men have been attracted to me. My entire life, when I was a little girl I'd look out my bedroom window and look at the caterpillars. I envied them so much! No matter what they were before. What happened to them. They could just hide away and turn into these beautiful creatures, that could fly away completely untouched. I hated men so much, I wanted nothing to do with them. And then I met you." Patch Adams (movie)

"I told them all the great things I knew about you, and there was a lot. I was up there for awhile. I didn't tell them everything, though I left out the complicated stuff. Like how it took loosing you forever for me to truly find you. And how finding you turned me into someone else entirely. That's not what they came for. People want to hear that you were great, and sometimes not so great. They want to know I miss you. Not that while I've been missing you I've fallen for someone else. Its weird though, I feel like the only one who would understand is you. In a way that makes sense, he was the person you were yourself around. Of course, he'd be that same person for me. Anyway I left out all that, and I kept it simple. I told them I loved you, and that's the truth..." Catch and Release (movie)

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves; who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?  Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the world. We were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." Nelson Mandella
