1 " There’s always something to live for. Something to be thankful for. Something to look forward to. "
― Erin Watt , One Small Thing
2 " What’s your small thing for today?”“You. "
3 " That’s how I kept my sanity – I focused on one good thing instead of all the fucked-up stuff.” One small thing. "
4 " Because there’s always something to live for. Something to be thankful for. Something to look forward to. "
5 " Teach people how to treat you. "
6 " Are you ever going to let me forgive you? "
7 " No one counts, Chase. No one but you and me. If you tell me you don’t care about me, I’ll cry but I’ll get over it. that’s your choice. But if you’re pushing me away because guilt is your current girlfriend and you don’t want to leave her, then that’s bullshit. If you feel so wrong about being let out of prison, go back there. Violate your probation and get sent back in. "
8 " Grow up, Beth. in the real world, bad boys are actually bad. They aren’t heroes. It’s not dope to hook up with them. Your home life problems aren’t solved with my dick. Bad boys do bad shit and eventually drag everyone around them into the same hell pit. "
9 " One small thing every day, "
10 " What’s your small thing for today?” I ask as I cross the neighbor’s lawn to my own.“You. "
11 " you teach people how to treat you "
12 " One small thing every day, just like Chase taught me.” (344) "
13 " No cage is forever, Beth. I tried to find one small thing that I could be grateful for each day, like the extra ten minutes of free time outside or a work release picking up trash or ice cream for dessert. That’s how I kept my sanity—I focused on one good thing instead of all the fucked-up stuff. "
