James Patterson, Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas

"Bad stuff does happen sometimes, always remember that but remember that you have to move on somehow. You just pick your head up and stare at something beautiful like the sky or the ocean and you move the hell on."

"But what is life if you don't live it?"

"Good memories are like charms... Each is special. You collect them, one by one, until one day you look back and discover they make a long, colorful bracelet."

"Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls...are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered."
