- episode 24
- And people can be broken, sure, but what's broken can be mended, what's hurt can be healed. That no matter how dark it gets, the sun it's gonna rise again
- episode 17
- When we go without certain things long enough, it's easy to forget just how much we need them. We forget what we had once. We forget what it's like to live with a thing, not that we need, but that we want. That's why it's so important for us to remind ourselves, for us to remember, just because we can live without something, it doesn't mean we have to.
- episode 14
- The key, though, win or lose, is not to fail. And the only way to fail is not to fight. So you fight until you can’t fight anymore. Hold up you head and enter the arena, and face the enemy. Fight until you can’t fight anymore, never let go, never give up, never run, never surrender. Fight the good fight, you fight even when it seems inevitable that you’re about to go down swinging
- season 10
- episode 17
- If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that it only takes one person, one patient, one moment, to change your life forever... to change your perspective, color your thinking, to force you to re-evaluate everything you think you know... to make you ask yourself the toughest questions... do you know who you are? Do you understand what has happened to you? Do you want to live this way?
- episode 12
- Never be afraid to stand up for yourself. Just be sure you're right, when you do it.
- Failure is inevitable. Unavoidable. But failure should never get the last word. You have to never take no for an answer and take what's coming to you. Never give in. Never give up. Stand up. Stand up and take it.
- episode 1
- We're all gonna die. We don't get much say over how or when. But we do get to decide how we're gonna live. So do it. Decide. Is this the life you wanna live? Is this the person you wanna love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More Compassionate? Decide. Breathe in. Breathe out and decide.

- season 8
- episode 20
- Letting go is the easy part; it’s the moving on that’s painful. So sometimes we fight it; try and keep things the same. Things can’t stay the same though. At some point, you just have to let go. Move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it’s the only way we grow
- episode 5
- We’re so hopeful at the beginning of things. But it seems like there is only a world to be gained. Not lost. They say inability to except loss is a for of insanity. It’s probably true. But sometimes… it’s the only way to stay alive.
- season 7
- episode 22
- There's a reason I said I'd be happy alone. It wasn't 'cause I thought I'd be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone, and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It's easier to be alone. Because what if you learn that you need love? And then you don't have it? What if you like it? And lean on it? What if you shape your life around it? And then... it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It's like dying. The only difference is... Death ends. This... It could go on forever.
- episode 4
- Biology says that we are who we are from birth. That are DNA is set in stone. Unchangeable. Our DNA doesn't account for all of us though, we're human. Life changes us. We develop new traits. Become less territorial. We start competing. We learn from our mistakes. We face our greatest fears. For better or worse, we find ways to become more than our biology. The risk of course is that we can change too much to the point where we don't recognize ourselves. Finding our way back can be difficult. There's no compass, no map. We just have to close our eyes, take a step, and hope to God we get there.
- episode 3
- Nobody chooses to be a freak. Most people don't realize they're a freak until it's way to late to change it. No matter how much of a freak you end up being, chances are there's still someone out there for you. Unless of course, they've already moved on. Because when it comes to love, even freaks can't wait forever.
- episode 2
- Eventually the pain will go away, the shock will wear off. And you start to heal yourself. To recover from something you never saw coming. But, sometimes the odds are in your favor. If you’re in just the right place at just the right time you can take a helluva hit. And still have a shot at surviving.
- episode 1
- It's the way people try not to change that's unnatural. The way we cling to what things were instead of letting things be what they are. The way we cling to old memories instead of forming new ones. The way we insist on believing despite every scientific indication that anything in this lifetime is permanent. Change is constant. How we experience change that's up to us. It can feel like death or it can feel like a second chance at life. If we open our fingers, loosen our grips, go with it, it can feel like pure adrenaline. Like at any moment we can have another chance at life. Like at any moment, we can be born all over again.
- season 6
- episode 22
- If your mom dies, you’ll feel a lot of things. First, you’ll feel like you could’ve done more to help her but that’s not true. You did everything you could. It won’t feel that way. But remember me telling you this, you did everything you could. And it’ll hurt, every time you think of her. And over time it will hurt less and less. And eventually you’ll remember her and it will only hurt a little.
- season 5
- episode 22
- You never know the biggest day of your life is going to be the biggest. The days you think are going to be big ones, they’re never as big as you make them out to be in your head. It’s the regular days, the ones that start out normal, those are the days that end up being the biggest. You don’t recognize the biggest day of your life. Not until you’re right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there’s not enough time because you want to live forever. Those are the biggest days... The perfect days.
- episode 19
- Doesn’t matter how tough we are. Trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home. It changes our lives. Trauma messes everybody up. But maybe that’s the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap... Maybe going through all of that is what keeps us moving forward. It’s what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up before we can step up.
- season 3

- episode 23
- The dream is this – that we’ll finally be happy when we reach our goals – find the guy, finish our internship, that’s the dream. Then we get there. And if we’re human, we immediately start dreaming of something else. Because, if this is the dream, then we’d like to wake up. Now, please! Maybe we accept the dream has become a nightmare. We tell ourselves that reality is better. We convince ourselves it’s better that we never dream at all. But, the strongest of us, the most determined of us, holds on to the dream or we find ourselves faced with a fresh dream we never considered. We wake to find ourselves, against all odds, feeling hopeful. And, if we’re lucky, we realize in the face of everything, in the face of life the true dream is being able to dream at all.
- episode 20
- Some people believe that without history, our lives amount to nothing. At some point we all have to choose: do we fall back on what we know, or do we step forward to something new? It's hard not to be haunted by our past. Our history is what shapes us... what guides us. Our history resurfaces time after time after time. So we have to remember sometimes the most important history is the history we’re making today.
- episode 18
- What's worse, new wounds which are so horribly painful or old wounds that should've healed years ago and never did? Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we've been and what we've overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That's what we like to think. But that's not the way it is, is it? Some things we just have to learn over and over and over again.
- season 2
- episode 23
- A wise man once said – 'You can have anything in life if you’re willing to sacrifice everything else for it'. What he meant is nothing comes without a price. So before you go into battle, you better decide how much you’re willing to lose. Too often going after what feels good means letting go of what you know is right. And letting someone in means abandoning the walls you’ve spent a lifetime building. Of course the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don’t see coming. When we don’t have time to come up with a strategy to pick sides… or to measure the potential loss. When that happens, when the battle chooses us, and not the other way around, that’s when the sacrifice can turn out to be more than we can bear.
- episode 3
- No matter how hard you fight it, you fall. And it's scary as hell. If there's an upside to free-falling, it's the chance you give your friends to catch you.
