But even the stars burn out. I don’t think we’re supposed to be a slave to our hearts, Miranda.
I am a ghost, and I am always going to be a ghost until I decide I’m not.
I tell you, working with the mentally ill is like playing a very complex game of cards.
People are not just the sum of the things they've done, Miranda. They're also the things they leave undone.
The thing about mental illness is that you have to fight for your own survival, every single day.
The world is not kind to people who are different, Miranda. You have to be prepared for that.
I don't need to be fixed. I'm not a broken thing. I'm me.
I guess you could say I'm on a quest for the truth, but only the truth that I need to know.
You have to take your own path, my love. No one else can walk it for you.
