#quotes #kevin-connolly #life #family

I was never one to go up to someone as a five- or six-year-old and say, "Hello, my name's Paul, will you be my friend?"

#quotes #john-greenleaf-whittier #people

I think to an extent every human being needs to be redeemed somewhat or at least needs to look at themselves and say, "I've made mistakes, I'm off course, I need to change." Which is probably the hardest thing for a human being to do, and maybe that's why it interests me so. ~Joss Whedon
#quotes #joss-whedon #thinking #mistakes #change
