“Too many good things all seem the same after a while. ”

“At first when you're learning a foreign language, what seems strange is that a different set of words exists for the things you know. But then, after a while, what seems strange is that so many words are the same, that two entirely different peoples, an ocean apart, would choose the exact same sounds. In the end, what causes the most trouble are the words that sound the same but mean different things: déception, nostalgie, grâce.”

“You are entering a phase of your life in which many different things will occur...bad things that seem good at first and good things that seem bad at first.”

“having too many ideas is not always a good thing.”

“If you do something too good, then, after a while, if you don't watch it, you start showing off. And then you're not as good any more.”

“So many things that seemed crucial and excruciatingly hard ended and then didn't matter anymore, forever after”
