“So, there we were. The five of us - Marco, Tobias, Rachel, Cassie, and me. Five normal mallrats heading home. Sometimes I think about that one, last moment when we were still just normal kids. It's like it was a million years ago, like it was some totally different group of kids. You know what I was afraid of right then? I was afraid of admitting to Tom that I hadn't made the team. That was as scary as life got back then. Five minutes later, life got a lot scarier.”

“You know the most beautiful part of Love? You can Never Ever wish them harm no matter how much hurt they threw your way. How can you, when You have prayed for them for days after days, when you have literally begged God for their well-being. No, you can ask the same God to let you forget them, but deep inside even in that prayer, you would send them Hope, you would send them Love. You can Never allow yourself to hear anything negative, even minutely disgraceful about them, no matter how many insults they might have pulled your way. No, you can silently walk away, but you would never want to hear anything wrong being said about them, in fact you would stand first to leave the room when such a thing happen or maybe fight fiercely for them simply because your heart wouldn't allow it no matter how much your mind might argue otherwise. And even when your Hurt runs deep, even when the wounds won't ever stop bleeding, even when you might never have received even a fraction of what you gave, you would still give in a way that is beyond any logic, you would give in the virtue of Grace and Dignity in knowing that Love can Never be turned in Hate, yes when you Love someone Immensely, it might sometimes turn into Hate, but when You Loved Someone with all the Hopes and Dreams of a Home, even when the Home breaks, you still hold on to the foundations with a Grace that Only God Understands. That's the biggest burden and yet the most powerful beauty of Love.”

“I've always believed that to some extent you get to decide for yourself what your life will be like. You can either look at the world and say "Oh, isn't it all so tragic, so grim, so awful." Or you can look at the world and decide that it's mostly funny. If you step back far enough from the details, everything gets funny. You say war is tragic. I say, isn't it crazy the way people will fight over nothing? People fight wars to control crappy little patches of empty desert, for crying out loud. It's like fighting over an empty soda can. It's not so much tragic as it is ridiculous. Asinine! Stupid! You say, isn't it terrible about global warming? And I say, no, it's funny. We're going to bring on global warming because we ran too many leaky air conditioners? We used too much spray deodorant, so now we'll be doomed to sweat forever? That's not sad. That's irony.”

“Rachel anaknya jangkung, cantik, rambutnya pirang, dan tak kenal takut. Yah, jauh di dalam lubuk hati sih ia juga merasa tidak aman, cemas kalau-kalau ia tak bisa beradaptasi, dan tertekan karena harus hidup memenuhi standar tinggi yang ditentukannya sendiri. Tapi semua itu tersembunyi jauh di dalam. Jauh sekali, sehingga jika kau berusaha mencapainya, ia akan mencincangmu sebelum kau bahkan bisa mendekat.”

“You needed love to win at the game of music...I played of sadness. I played of loneliness. Despair. Love found and lost. I played of tragic misunderstanding and weary cynicism and defeat. I played of perseverance, endurance beyond all suffering. Endurance in the face of hopelessness, hope when even hope was a betrayal...And yet, though I played so much sadness, the music at the same time denied despair. How could anyone despair while music was being played?”
