Sometimes pain is the only thing that tells us we’re alive.
You must be the only person alive who still believes you can win.
But the truth is, love is a part of everything, too.
I’m not a good person. I’m not a hero. And I’m not your savior.
Love wasn’t something you went out and found. It was something you allowed to find you.
Sometimes even wicked stepmothers were once innocent little girls.
The worst monsters are the ones we bring back to life.
It’s hard to be a hero. It’s even harder to become one.
Some things are worth hurting for.
