“To be rejected by someone doesn't mean you should also reject yourself or that you should think of yourself as a lesser person. It doesn't mean that nobody will ever love you anymore. Rememb...”

“Yes, I understand why things had to happen this way. I understand his reason for causing me pain. But mere understanding does not chase away the hurt. It does not call upon the sun when dark...”

“It is our wounds that create in us a desire to reach for miracles. The fulfillment of such miracles depends on whether we let our wounds pull us down or lift us up towards our dreams.”

“For a long time, he tried to convince himself that he was content. For a long time, he tried to ignore another kind of hunger within him, a hunger that could never be satisfied no matter how...”

“He knew that just by gazing at those flowers, something from within him started to live again.”

“I know we can't do anything about those who couldn't even say they're sorry...but maybe...maybe we can do something about how we feel inside.”

“You say those things because you haven’t felt what I felt. Don’t you know how painful it is to be abandoned by your dearest friend?”

“It’s true; I have never been abandoned by my best friend. Even so, I think no one is really exempt from being hurt. I was hurt, too...and you may not know how I felt like...how it felt like....”

“He had always held on to his pain as though it were the biggest pain in all that world, but now, now he felt he could no longer hold on to it. His awareness of the boy’s pain somehow made hi...”

“Look here...this shell is unique. I think I could gather all the seashells in the world and I would still fail to find another one like this. As beautiful as this. In the same way, I think t...”

“Even if you can’t see any proof right now, you must believe. Sometimes, you must believe first before you can see!”

“It’s amazing how something beautiful can suddenly change the way you feel, how it can comfort you and heal you and give you peace.”

“Why have they failed to see this the night before? Was it because of the darkness? Or was it because of the shadows cast from his own heart?”

“For the sake of clarity, let it be known that this boy lives in a world that is quite different from your own... In this world, there are fireflies that can talk, there are flowers that can...”

“It was like being able to breathe again, as though he has forgotten how. It was like being able to believe that light still exists, and because it does, maybe he could still believe in hope....”

“In my heart is a space that is so sacred and none can enter in but you. And I shall wait for you though it takes forever, though my heart bleeds and my all consumed. I wait because I love yo...”

“I guess you will always be my heart’s deepest wound. The kind that aches terribly. The kind that time could never heal. I glimpse a memory of you and I feel it! I feel both the joy and the p...”

“I see now that no person who has ever loved has ever been spared from tears.”

“You could have found me. You could have seen me. But I had always been the invisible one.”

“I touch this pen, and I feel your fingers, I hear a song, and tears flow down my eyes. Everything comes to life because you have touched them, but all the world is meaningless without love.”
