- Promise me that when you pick the boy you’re really gonna be with that he’ll be someone who respects you and treats you well. And it’s someone who makes your heart race. And that he’s someone who you love because of what he is, not what he does. Because that’s how I felt about your mother, and that’s how I want you to feel one day. Use your head and follow your heart.
- Life’s funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard. Like when you fall in love with someone but they forget to love you back. Like when your best friend and your boyfriend leave you alone. Like when you pull the trigger or light the flame and you can’t take it back. Like I said, in sports they call this stepping up. In life, I call it pushing back.
- You know, it’s been said that we just don’t recognize the significant moments of our lives while they’re happening. We grow complacent with ideas or things or people and we take them for granted. And it’s usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you realize how wrong you’ve been. That you realize how much you really need it. How much you love it. God, I love this game.
- Every once in a while, people step up. They rise above themselves. Sometimes they surprise you. And sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard. But if you look close enough you find hope. In the words of children, in the bars of a song. And in the eyes of someone you love. And if you’re lucky, I mean, if you’re the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back.
- Regret comes in all shapes and sizes. Some are small... like when we do a bad thing for a good reason. Some are bigger... like when we let down a friend. Some of us have little time for regret because we're looking forward to the future. Sometimes we have to fight to come to terms with the past. And sometimes we bury our regret by promising to change our ways. But our biggest regrets are not for the things we did... but for the things we didn't do. Things we didn't say... that could have saved someone we care about... especially when we can see the dark storm that's headed their way.
- Why is it that it's so much easier to forgive a stranger than it is to forgive someone you love?
- Do you really believe that, Luke? Look, look into your heart, okay? It may be flawed physically, but it's a good one. And it's what makes you, you. Luke, you've changed other people's lives by opening it up. Don't close that off.
- Sometimes, life is stranger than a dream. And the only way to wake up is to face what lies hidden in your soul. And you can only hope that in those moments of dark reflection that you are not alone.
- I don't get it you know, it's been two years, she's acting like it just happened! -She just found out about it for her it did just happen.
- "Well, however nice you're being, it's not enough. You've got to let her know that you're there for her and that you're nothing like her ex-boyfriend." "Nodded. But for the record, Nathan's nothing like your ex-boyfriend either."
- You know, just driving blue highways, looking for that life you already got. You know, for the luckiest guy I know, you worry too much. And contrary to popular belief, most of life's problems don't get solved on a tour bus in the middle of Texas. Turn your mind off and relax.
- It's gonna be hard. I know that, but... the people I admire are the people that carve a life for themselves after their dream dies.
- I love this game. I'm sorry I betrayed it.
