“Never take the universe personally.”
“Destiny, she’d learned, was written in the heavens; a person couldn’t take what the universe didn’t wish to give.”
“The universe, I'd learned, was never, ever kidding. It would take whatever it wanted and it would never give it back.”
“But no one laughed. No one would. The universe, I'd learned, was never, ever kidding. It would take whatever it wanted and it would never give it back.”
“There is nothing in this world that never takes a step outside a person's heart.”
“One should take good care never to treat one’s own moral code as something universally valid”
