“Teaching means to show a person that something is possible.”
“Every person you encounter, whom you interact with, is there to teach you something. Sometimes it may be years before you realize what each had to show you.”
“Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.”
“This is a cardinal Ya-Ya rule: you must meet each person's eyes while clinking glasses in a toast. Otherwise, the ritual has no meaning, it's just pure show. And that is something the Ya-Yas are not.”
“I mean, really: what kind of person could possibly dislike me?”
