Mason Cooley

Poor but happy is not a phrase invented by a poor person.

Excuses change nothing, but make everyone feel better.

Outside books, we avoid colorful characters.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

It's easier to forgive those who hurt you than those who hurt the people you love.

It's a terrifying thing to be perhaps 16 or 17 and feel like you are a failure and a has-been.
