Alan: Their loss is my gain. God knows I need help around here.
Ina: Its a sad world darling- but its only because you’re looking between the lines.
Ida: That’s what true love does to you- once it enters your life, it encompaases you completely, and you wouldn’t be able to forget about it even if you tried. It’ll never go away. It can dim sometimes, but that doesnt mean its not there. Even time cant take true love from you. True love is timeless.
Natalie: Humans like to build walls around themselves. We stand in our own little box and from the inside, its looks like we’re protecting ourselves. But from the outside, its a cage that keeps the happiness away. My doctor told me that there are four things that make up the four walls caging us in: fear, hurt, anger and disappointment. We may not realize it, but these four walls now become the center of our lives- the only things we ever look inside that little cage of ours. And the funny thing is that there’s only one thing that can break down all those four walls. It’s a seemingly tiny thing that is taken for granted, and under-estimated treasure that is worth so much more that it takes credit for: love.
