13 " When you love someone, seeing them in pain can be harder than being in pain yourself. "
14 " Sometimes the picture someone else paints of us is a more accurate portrayal than a reflection. What we see in the mirror is always reversed. A portrait not only allows us to see our own faces, but how it looks to others. "
