“I cocked my fist back, remembering what Brendan had taught me. "Don't aim for your target. You'll have more of an impact that way." I was aiming for China.”
“Oh, China. How I have missed you.''And I have missed you, Eliza. But don't worry, next time my aim will be better.”
“The trouble with a target-rich environment is that it's useless if you don't know which target you have to aim at.”
“Expectation is like an arrow if it misses the target it aims back at you with double force.”
“Don't aim at success---the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued;it must ensue...as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a course greater than oneself.”
“Truly I was born to be an example of misfortune, and a target at which the arrows of adversary are aimed.”
