“Living with this kind of cognitive dissonance is simply part of being alive at this jarring moment in history, when a crisis we have been studiously ignoring is hitting us in the face– and yet we are doubling down on the stuff that is causing the crisis in the first place.”

“It seems to me that reality itself has a screw loose somewhere. That's why I try to keep at least myself in line as much as possible.”

“For indeed, a man who aspires to rise above the mediocre, to be something more than ordinary, surely deserves admiration, even if in the end he fails and loses a fortune on account of his ambitions.”

“She laughed out loud. 'I can't teach you that,' she said. 'Love comes like lightning, and disappears the same way. If you're lucky, it strikes you right. If not, you'll spend your life yearning for a man you can't have. I advise you to forget about love, princess. Pleasure is simpler, and duty more important. Learn to be satisfied with them.' I should have believed her and modified my expectations. But I didn't. Deep in my stubborn heart I was convinced I deserved more.”
