Girls are weird, and I don't mean that offensively. I just can't put it any other way.
The gift from my Secret Santa wasn't anything special. That makes me sad. I bet you anything that Mary Elizabeth is my Secret Santa because only she would give me socks.
I’m so sorry that I wasted your time because you really do mean a lot to me and I hope you have a very nice life because I really think you deserve it. I really do. I hope you do, too. Okay, then. Goodbye.
The most beautiful surprise is that you have these moments where you connect with people on a deep level without saying a word. It's one of those wonderful things that you get what you give, and I'm grateful for it.
You ever think Charlie, that our group is the same as any other group like a football team? And the only real difference between us is what we wear and why we wear it?
Why would I care whether or not he loved me when he didn't even really know me?
I've never understood the need people have to dictate morality to other people. I really don't know what it is. I don't know if it's fear or the belief that they know the only right way. Or maybe they see a lot of social ills and social decline, and they really think they have the elixir for it.
I feel like a big faker because I've been putting my life back together, and nobody knows.
I don't think we should base so much on weight, muscles, and a good hair day, but when it happens, it's nice. It really is.
What's your favorite book? "The last one I read.
Part of the reason I wrote the book was I wanted to understand for myself why such good people let themselves get treated so badly.
And I never felt that good in my life. But I also felt bad because I saw her naked without her permission.
Girls like guys to be a challenge. It gives them some mold to fit in how they act. Like a mom. What would a mom do if she couldn't fuss over you and make you clean your room? And what would you do without her fussing and making you do it? Everyone needs a mom. And a mom knowns this. And it gives her a sense of purpose. You get it?
Even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there.
