“To find out your real opinion of someone, judge the impression you have when you first see a letter from them.”

“We all have this moment, when your folks first see you as someone not growing up to be them.”

“If you want to go public with your opinions, then someone is going to judge you a moron. And there is always a risk that you may be.”

“If you have plenty of money, want not to see but to have seen a bullfight and plan no matter whether you like it or not to leave after the first bull, buy a barrera seat so that someone who has never had enough money to sit in a barrera can make a quick rush from above and occupy your expensive seat as you go out taking your pre-conceived opinions with you.”

“Love isn’t an obligation. You don’t owe someone your loyalty and you damn well don’t owe them your heart. It’s an emotion, and it’s born from mutual respect and generosity. It is not cruel and it is not judging. It comes from a willingness to live in complete and utter misery for the benefit of another. But when it’s real, you don’t feel that misery at all. The thought of their face, the scent of their skin brings a light to that darkness so bright that it drives out everything else.” - Ren Waya”

“Don't concern yourself with the opinions of those who judge you. That is placing on them an importance they do not have.”
