"Do you believe in magic?"

"I believe in love, is that the same thing?"

"do you believe in second chances?"

"I believe in new beginnings...and moving on."

"If you have a will, is there a way?"

"If you have a will, you will make a way. I have no will, I have no dreams, no desires, no passions. There is no way out for me."

"They say the only real tragedy in life is young people going before their time."

"They don't know that the real pain is within those left behind. The tragedy is knowing that young people die."

"So there is a difference between knowing and happening?"

"In other words, ignorance is bliss."

"Should we strive for ignorance, then?"

"In order to achieve bliss? No. To become ignorant would be to forfeit the joys of accomplishment, the awe and wonder of knowledge and the pain and beauty of truth. The greatest loss would be the loss of caring. Compassion knows, feels, learns. Bliss is not only ignorant, it is oblivious."

"You said that you believe in love..."

"Everyone believes in love. It is really not that complicated. Fleeting, yes. Abstract, definitely. But love is easy to give and even cheap. Think of trust...trust is earned and built on actions. Love is built on emotions. You can not hang on to love. If people would just accept it for what it is, they would begin to appreciate it."

"Then there is a greater price for trust?"

"A relationship survives on honesty, trust and respect. Must survive on these three. Love will come and go. Honesty is a choice resulting from a sense of right action. Trust is earned. Respect is a form of honor, a duty of humanity. Love, on this earth, is not reserved for good. Evil men can love and evil things can be loved. Goodness is not found in love alone. Happiness requires more than love."
