When the well's nearly dry and you're not sure you have the strength to persevere, fill up on love and friendship, then take another step, and then another, until you reach your goal.

Perseverance is the act of true role models and heroes.

The ultimate measure of a person is not her mistakes or accomplishments, but what she does with them.

You know what I realized? No one else lives in my memories but me.

For whatever it's worth, I believe we're born imperfect, and perfection, whatever that may be, is unattainable by us mere humans.

All at once it occurs to me that I'm the one who needs to give myself the break, to accept myself for who I am.

One HELLO? can change a life.One HELLO? can save a life.

I long for the day when people embrace our common humanity and respect diversity.

Being kind, being compassionate, being respectful does not make you weak. More often, it's the harder path to take.

I'm an answer, Frankie. Maybe you're an answer for me, too?—Emerson

Frankie, I'm fully awake and more curious than George. If we hang up I'll lie here formulating a million reasons for your call, none of them your truth, and that would drive me crazy. You wouldn't do that to the guy who has your grandmother's old phone number, would you? Trust me, you can tell me anything.—Emerson

If I had one night, I'd hold you in my arms,Find redemption, no more contention,Keeping you close. Too long, years gone,Wasted away. One night, our night,Remember this. I won't forget you,No I won't forget you.—Red-Eyed Loons
