“Equally disquieting are the times when we do make a choice, only to later feel as though we have murdered some other aspect of our being by settling on one single concrete decision.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage

“The optimist sees the rose and not its thorns; the pessimist stares at the thorns, oblivious to the rose.”
― Kahlil Gibran

“Don't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear.”
― Paulo Coelho

“People always fall in love with the most perfect aspects of each other’s personalities. Who wouldn’t? Anybody can love the most wonderful parts of another person. But that’s not the clever trick. The really clever trick is this: Can you accept the flaws? Can you look at your partner’s faults honestly and say, ‘I can work around that. I can make something out of it.’? Because the good stuff is always going to be there, and it’s always going to pretty and sparkly, but the crap underneath can ruin you.”
