In the end, you should always do the right thing, even if it's hard. I know that might not help you and that the right thing isn't always so easy to figure out. Nicholas Sparks
If you just worked hard enough. If you just learned enough. Ran fast enough. Everything would turn out right, and your life would amount to something. Chuck Palahniuk
All my hard work in overhearing it was it was about as rewarding to me as a man who lugs a chest up the hill only to learn that its full of rocks. Arthur Golden

A regime which combines perpetual surveillance with total indulgence is hardly conducive to healthy development. P. D. James
It is a good thing to learn the truth one's self. To first believe with all your heart, and then not to believe, is good too. It fattens the emotions and makes them to stretch. When as a woman life and people disappoint her, she will have had practice in disappointment and it will not come so hard. In teaching your child do not forget that suffering is good too. It makes a person rich in character. Betty Smith
It didn't take long to realize I didn't hardly know nothing. And that if you ast yourself why you black or a man or a woman or a bush it don't mean nothing if you don't ast why you here, period Alice Walker
Behind Joy and Laughter there may be a temperament, coarse, hard and callous. But behind Sorrow there is always Sorrow. Pain, unlike Pleasure, wears no mask. Oscar Wilde
Sometimes I wore a fringe so deep it obscured the way ahead. This hardly mattered. There were always others to look where I was going. Quentin Crisp
