Grammy's Wisdom

"Lucy Q, you are gonna be the most beautiful and talented pianist in the future. Just remember what Grammy always tell you: don't hear; feel."

"Lucy dear, play for the sake of playing. Because then and only then will you be able to feel the genuineness of music."

"Lucy, sweetheart, sometimes you have to not care about your parents or your tutor's opinions. Sometimes, you gotta stay in the room and just play. Ignore everything. Only the music. And you."

"Lucy sweetheart, I'm gonna be gone someday. And you're going to have to go through this journey by yourself. But I promise you, sweetheart, that one day, you'll find a person who will be your best friend and your lover and everything else. When you do, know that I will be so happy for you."

"Lucy sweetie, don't ever think that you'll do fine on your own. Make friends. Make best friends! Talk to them; laugh with them. Because when the time comes, they'll be the only ones there for you. Appreciate them. And you'll never have to live a lonely life."

"Lucy, my dear, take it slow. Take it one step at a time. Don't rush. You have all the time in the world."

"Lucy dear, be resilient. Be stubborn. Fight for what you believe is right. Don't ever give up. If you fall, take as long as you need to rest, as long as you get up and start over. You'll go miles someday."

"Lucy Quinn, do not ever be ashamed when you feel the opposite of brave. It's human nature. However, you have to stomp it down and make yourself brave. It's human nature too."

"Lucy my star, you are bright and you are young. It is not wrong for you to be rebellious and be mischievous once in awhile. Go out someday in your high school life and drink beer and make out and have protected sex. And then come home and tell me all about it. I may act scandalized, but I will know it is because you are young and you deserve to have fun."

"Luce honey, when a person is willing to risk themselves for you, it is worth it."

"Lucy dear, generations are different now. When you start going to school, you'll see things and you'll learn things and you'll do things. However, when in school, find a teacher: a teacher who can teach you and guide you and talk to you on issues excluded from the school syllabus. It'll do you a lot of good."

"Lucy my precious, keep in mind that your friends are important. Keep an eye out for the truest among them all. And never lose them. Never."

"Quinn my sweet, your middle name means 'to be wise'. Live up to your name, Quinn. Be wise. Think carefully and if you think it is deserving, do it."

"Lucy Quinn Fabray, now remember one thing: the truth hurts. Oh, do they hurt. But remember another thing: it's no matter how much it hurts; the truth is always better than a lie."

"Lucy dearest, if you're not ready to do something – anything– then don't do it. Don't let anyone pressure you into doing something you're not ready for. They're not worth it. But if there's someone who understand that you're not ready to do it, you have to keep them around. It's a rule."

"Lucy sweetie, your father is your father. He wants what's best for you. Unless he's done something absolutely atrocious, you have to love him. And one day, when you're old enough and have enough sense, you can confront him, in a respectful way though. Because confronting a person is a way to show them you love them."

"Lucy Q, as long you have someone at the end of the line waiting to catch you, you have nothing to worry about."

"Lucy Q, when you find a purpose in your life, and you know that it's goingto happen, you've practically scored a home run."

"Quinn, love is a powerful, powerful thing. When you're in love one day in the future, don't be afraid, because it is one of the best things in the world."

"It is irresponsible to just run away, Quinn, but sometimes, you just haveto. I will not blame you if you need to do it: run away, that is. If you need to run away and be alone and quiet, you can. Just as long as you understand that you need to come back."

"Lucy, do not let your nerves stop you from doing something that you want or have to do. You'll regret it sooner or later. The more nervous you are, the more you should do it."

"Luce my dear, things will get better eventually. You just have to believeit. Or else, there really is nothing to live for."

"Lucy Quinn, you can gauge a person's love for you by how much they're willing to do just to be with you. And if that person will settle for just a kiss or a touch, you need to keep them."

"Lucy, you have a long life ahead of you. You must do whatever you have to, to be what you imagine your life to be. Or else, there is no meaning to it at all."

"Lucy Quinn Fabray, always remember that I will always be here. Even when I'm gone, I'll be here. I'll be here to be your guidance even though you won't know it. I'll be here to watch you grow and find your way. And when I'm sure you've found your way, then I'll leave, because you won't need me anymore. But I'll still be here."
