“Whatever will happen will happen, but choose your companions with care. Choose them because you like to look at them and you like the sound of their voices, and they have profound secrets in them that you wish to know. In other words, choose them because you love them. Otherwise you will not be able to bear their company for very long.”

“Be careful the environment you choose, for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.”

“Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.”

“Does loving someone mean you want them to be safe? Or that you want them to be able to choose?”

“You don't choose your friends, they choose you, and you either reject them or you accept them without reservations.”

“Who you choose to walk with through life will be the most important decision that you will ever, ever make. You will have your children and you will love them because they are yours and because they will be wonderful. Just like you ... But who you marry is a choice. The man you choose should make you happy, encourage you in following your dreams, big ones and little ones.”
