He told me it didn't matter if he was happy. All that mattered was his future. I had to tell him that was a lie. Not being happy in your life is just living to die.

&quot;You love someone, you open yourself up to suffering, that&#039;s the sad truth. Maybe they&#039;ll break your heart, maybe you&#039;ll break their heart and never be able to look at yourself in the same way. Those are the risks. The thought of losing so much control over personal happiness is unbearable. That&#039;s the burden. Like wings, they have weight, we feel that weight on our backs, but they are a burden that lifts us. Burdens which allow us to fly...&quot;<br /> -Dr. Jack Hodgins (Bones)

“Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but really loves you, then you become Real.'<br /> <br /> 'Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit. <br /> <br /> 'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.'
