I'm afraid to love you. I'm afraid that you'll leave and that I'll go back to being alone again. Only it will be a hundred times worse because I'll know what I'm missing.

Was I wrong to feel like it was worth the pain later for some happiness now, no matter how temporary it may be?

Bad things don't happen to people because they deserve for them to happen. It just doesn't work that way. It's just… life. And no matter who we are, we have to take the hand we're dealt, crappy though it may be, and try our very best to move forward anyway, to love anyway, to have hope anyway… to have faith that there's a purpose to the journey we're on.
—Mia Sheridan in Archer's Voice
It's not the things you do with love and good intentions that you end up regretting. It's the things you don't do that you have to live with.
—Mia Sheridan in Most of All You
There's no sense of satisfaction in something you didn't do anything to achieve.
