“You want to protect you children, don't you? You let them out of your body but you never let them all the way out.”

“ You can get what you want. Never sell out. Don't break. Don't weaken. Don't let the kindness of strangers be your salvation, for it is no salvation at all. Unless you sleep alone, you sleep with the enemy. Never come out of the storm. On the other hand, maybe you should. You don't have what it takes to go the hard way. Come out of the cold and sit by the fire. Let them warm you with the smiles and promise of friendship's fortune. Lose your edge. A soft body and chained mind suit you. Chances are you don't have what it takes to walk the frozen trail. Stay home and relax.”

“When you find someone you want to spend forever with you, you don't let them go, whether forever turns out to be a day or a year of fifty years. Don't let the fear of losing them keep you from loving them.”

“Let your children go if you want to keep them.”

“Is this how you get dates? You drag women into your car, lock them inside and don't let them out till they've agreed to go out with you?”

“If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others.”
