2 " Every time someone hurts you, you carry a little piece of that with you. When it’s one of the people who’s supposed to love you most in the world, well, I’d imagine that takes a whole chunk out of your faith in humanity. "
3 " I would tell you that the things we do in life can be mistakes, but the road we find ourselves on never is. "
4 " Our greatest accomplishment is not in never failing, but in getting up each time we fail. "

14 " I knew on some level that he was right, but my anger toward my dad was like a badge of honor, something that united my mom and me. Letting it go would be like losing a piece of who I was. "
15 " Maybe I owed it to him - and to myself, in a way - to try harder to understand where he was coming from, but the thought of letting down my walls was terrifying. It was my anger that kept me safe. "
16 " The word choice was strange, but I nodded, because she was right. It was inconvenient to love someone who would never love you the same way, because it held you back in life. It tied you to something you could never have. "
17 " It is the feeling. You have to feel the things you paint in your soul, or they won’t come through to your paintbrush. "
