41 " Even if you can’t see any proof right now, you must believe. Sometimes, you must believe first before you can see! "
― Jocelyn Soriano , The Good For Nothing Boy
42 " For the sake of clarity, let it be known that this boy lives in a world that is quite different from your own... In this world, there are fireflies that can talk, there are flowers that can dance, and there are mysteries that cannot be understood by those who refuse to have an open heart. "
43 " Why have they failed to see this the night before?Was it because of the darkness? Or was it becauseof the shadows cast from his own heart? "
44 " He knew that just by gazing at those flowers, something from within him started to live again. "
45 " For a long time, he tried to convince himself that he was content. For a long time, he tried to ignore another kind of hunger within him, a hunger that could never be satisfied no matter how much he ate. "
46 " You reminded me of what I lack. Sometimes, it's the right place to begin.""Begin what?" the boy asked."The right place to begin looking for what you need to find. "
47 " I know we can't do anything about those who couldn't even say they're sorry...but maybe...maybe we can do something about how we feel inside. "
48 " You say those things because you haven’t felt what I felt. Don’t you know how painful it is to be abandoned by your dearest friend? "
49 " It’s true; I have never been abandoned by my best friend. Even so, I think no one is really exempt from being hurt. I was hurt, too...and you may not know how I felt like...how it felt like...to be abandoned by your own mother. "
50 " He had always held on to his pain as though it were the biggest pain in all that world, but now, now he felt he could no longer hold on to it. His awareness of the boy’s pain somehow made him forget about his own. "
51 " Look here...this shell is unique. I think I could gather all the seashells in the world and I would still fail to find another one like this. As beautiful as this. In the same way, I think that’s how you are. "
52 " It’s amazing how something beautiful cansuddenly change the way you feel, how it cancomfort you and heal you and give you peace. "
53 " It was like being able to breathe again, as though he has forgotten how. It was like being able to believe that light still exists, and because it does, maybe he could still believe in hope. Maybe he could still find a way. "
54 " Greatness is not in being unbroken, but in being a blessing even after being broken, like bread, like a seed that dies yet rises again. "
― Jocelyn Soriano , Mend My Broken Heart
55 " When we lose a loved one, whether by a broken relationship or by unexpected death, the most difficult part we experience is the vacuum of loss we feel in our hearts. All of a sudden, a very significant part of our life, maybe the biggest or most important part is taken away. There is no immediate replacement. What we have left is just a BIG VOID, an empty space, a black hole we cannot understand. We feel hollow, like our hearts have suddenly been taken away. "
56 " I bare my nakedness to the world that the world may see who I am; not the mask that hides my flaws, not the mask that hides my beauty. I bask in the light and I take off the mask! "
― Jocelyn Soriano
57 " The best partner in life is someone who will help us to love ourselves more! "
58 " We can't say somebody loves us if that person can't even respect our feelings. "
59 " One should not use friendship as a disguise if one has a different intention behind it. "
60 " Our difficulties are only for a moment, but they shall bring a lasting good for those we love. "
