You can't predict the future. Feelings change.

Everything smells different when it rains.

I need a friend more than I need space.

You never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them.

If you love someone, you'll do anything to prevent their death.

The day that the rain smelled like ice cream, my bunny went to heaven in front of my eyes. The day that the copper pipes in the old building smelled like burnt food, my brother went to heaven in front of my eyes.

Making a decision on the assumption you made a mistake is a mistake.

I can't believe people ever lie. There are so many questions people might ask you, but if you tell the truth, you already know the answers.

— You don't think an organ donation should be an altruistic act?
— Can it be? A majority of donors do it to make their own lives more worthwhile, and almost a quarter do it to relieve guilt over a past mistake.

It's good to be honest.

— Guilt must be a bad thing if it makes people feel badly about something they can never fix.
— Or maybe it's a deterrent so we do the right thing the next time.

Studies have shown that walking boosts creative inspiration.

Getting away from things every now and again, having balance in our lives can be just as important to our performance as practice.

The world is sad and very complicated. I wish it wasn't.
