“What is a secret wish?""It is what you want but cannot ask.”
“What I've learned, Mia, and what my grandmother always said, is that the whole point is wishing and remembering - not if what you want happens, not if remembering hurts. Because when you wish for something, you're asking. And when you ask, you're trying. And all everyone can really do is try, right?”
“If he had to wish, what would he wish for, he asked himself. What was there to wish for... a wish asked for the unattainable. The impossible.”
“the whole point of the wish business was to see to it that what the client got was exactly what he asked for and exactly what he didn't really want.”
“The secret to a happy life is not in getting what you want. It is in learning to want what you get.”
“Ask me what you wish; just do not ask me for reasons.”
