“Real life is a funny thing, I think most of us fear that reaching the end of our life and looking back and regretting the moments we didn't speak out, and you didn't say I love you, and you should have said I'm sorry, so there is a time for silence and there is a time for waiting your turn, but if you know how you feel and you so clearly know what you want to say you know it, I don't think you should wait I think you should speak now.”
