“Sometimes one forgets that not everyone in this world is a bastard.”

“Some years had passed, but one never forgets faces one wholeheartedly detests.”

“Sometimes feeling and thinking are one and the same.”

“Sometimes what matters isn't what one gives but what one gives up.”

“Sometimes, in difficult circumstances, one can confuse compassion with love.”

“There was no more good or evil in this world than we imagine there to be, either out of greed or out of innocence. Or sometimes madness.”

“That's what happens when people reach old age; nobody remembers they've been bastards too.”
