“People always lecture the poor: “Take responsibility for yourself! Make something of yourself!” But with what raw materials are the poor to make something of themselves? People”

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”

“I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done in life, any choice that I’ve made. But I’m consumed with regret for the things I didn’t do, the choices I didn’t make, the things I didn’t say. We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. “What if…” “If only…” “I wonder what would have…” You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.”

“Có những khoảng khắc trong đời khi một cánh cửa mở ra và khi cuộc sống của bạn trượt trong ánh sáng. Những khoảng khắc hiếm hoi khi điều gì đó bật chốt bên trong bạn. Bạn bồng bềnh trong trạng thái phi trọng lượng, bạn lái xe trên một tuyến xa lộ không hề có ra đa. Những lựa chọn trở nên rõ ràng, những câu trả lời thế chỗ những câu hỏi, nỗi sợ nhường chỗ cho tình yêu.
Cần biết đến những khoảnh khắc ấy.
Chúng hiếm khi kéo dài.”

“The first thing I learned about having money was that it gives you choices. People don’t want to be rich. They want to be able to choose. The richer you are, the more choices you have. That is the freedom of money.”
