"I think it’s good to take it [breaking up] seriously. It’s fine to feel it and get hurt and get upset and give yourself a good cry and listen to loud music. It’s healthy. I don’t know, I came out of it a better man, I think."

"…It’s hard to stay mad when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life."
— Kevin Spacey, “American Beauty”

"I don’t really believe in regrets. All of my experiences, even the ones that didn’t turn out the way I wanted them to…I firmly believe they were all worth it."

"It is curious…curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare."

"Even to the faithless there is the dubious question: and after death? Even to the faithless, there is the moment of despair: God help me. In this very instant, I’m asking God to help me. I need it. I need it more than human strength. And I need my own strength. I am strong but I am also destructive. Self-destructive. And those who are self-destructive also destroy others. I am hurting a lot of people. And God has to come to me, since I haven’t gone to Him. Come, God, come. Even if I don’t deserve it, come. Or maybe those who deserve the least need it the most. I can only say one thing in my behalf: I never hurt on purpose. And it pains me too when I realize I’ve hurt. But I have so many flaws. I am agitated, jealous, unrefined, hopeless. Even though I have love inside me. Except I don’t know how to use love: sometimes, it feels like thorns. If I have so much love inside me and I am still anxious and miserable, it is because I need God to come. Come before it is too late."
