Violet MarkeyI used to be worried about everything. Things that seemed meaningful were actually meaningless. I worried about life. I worried about what would happen if I let myself feel again. I thought I didn't deserve to. Then, without really knowing, I changed. I wasn't worried about what would happen if I lived; I was worried about what would happen if I didn't... what I would miss. I worried about not remembering; not remembering all of the moments, all of the places. And that's because of Finch. Because he taught me to wander. He taught me that you don't need to climb a mountain to stand on top of the world, and even the ugliest places can be beautiful - as long as you take the time to look. And it's okay to get lost, as long as you find your way back. But, in learning all of that, I missed seeing something more important; seeing Finch. I missed that he was in pain. I missed that he was teaching me all along how to move on. Finch was a dreamer. He dreamt while he was awake. He dreamt of all the beauty in the world and he made it come to life. Finch taught me that there's beauty in the most unexpected of places, and that there are bright places even in dark times. And that, if there isn't, you can be that bright place... with infinite capacities.

Violet MarkeyYou know they call you "the Freak" right?
Theodore FinchYeah, sometimes I say or do things without thinking and people don't like that, people like labels. They like putting you in a box. They want you to be who they want you to be.
Theodore FinchThere are places that need to be seen. Maybe even the smallest of places can mean something. At the very least, maybe they can mean something to us.

Theodore FinchPeople are stupid. But the tiniest few might actually mean well.
