“There is no point getting angry at a bad hand, he had used to say. Especially if the dealer cheated when distributing the cards. Anger leads to mistakes. Don’t get angry; that’s what they want. Get calm. They’ll never expect you to do that. Don’t get angry; get creative. Take the hand you have and see whether you might not be holding something your enemy has overlooked. Don’t get angry at the cards; get the dealer out of the game.”
― Courtney Milan, After the Wedding

“Ah, mija! There you go! Rivers flow. A body of water that remains stagnant is just a cesspool, mi amor! It’s time to move, flow, grow. That is the nature of rivers. That is the nature of love!”

“I thought I would die wanting you.”
