“If you respected someone, then you had to ask something of them.”
“If I had to ask him to ask me, it wasn't going to work as an expression of concern. Like when you ask someone if they love you - if you have to ask them, they don't. Or not enough. Not the way you want them to.”
“If you like someone, you tell the truth because that, to me, is respect. If you hate someone, you tell them the truth because what do you have to lose?”
“Do not ask people to respect you, there are respectful things you can do to be respectable.”
“If you want to freak someone out, don't ask them... What's the least you can do? Instead ask them... What's the most you can do?”
“The moment you make someone promise anything is the same moment you ask them to lie to you.”
