Bethany Joy Lenz: Haley James Scott
Quotes
-
Haley James Scott : It all just seems so fake. This idea that good things happen to good people and there's magic in the world, and that the meek and righteous will inherit it. There's too many good people who suffer for something like that to be true. There are too many prayers that go unanswered. Every day we ignore how completely broken this world is, and we tell ourselves it's all going to be okay. You're gonna be okay. But it's not okay. And once you know that, there's no going back. There's no magic in the world... at least not today there isn't.

Haley James Scott : I try to tell myself to just be happy. But I don't feel happy. And when I try to change it, when I try to remember what being happy felt like, I can't. I don't feel joy. I don't feel inspired. I just feel numb.
-
Haley James Scott : [opening voiceover] Someone once said that death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live. I could tell you who said it but who the hell really cares.

Haley James Scott : I was thinking about the finality of it all- how somebody can leave your world in the blink of an eye and be gone forever. It's too enormous to think about it. It's too hard. And then you're just supposed to go on, right, like just deal with it. I mean really, you're only supposed to be sad for as long as the flowers last and then, oh, time to go back to telling jokes and reminiscing about the old days. I don't have any jokes to tell. As a matter of fact I hope I never hear another joke as long as I live. And the old days are just that, they're old days... that are gone.
