“Never take what's offered, always ask for more.”
“Never. Never ask for what ought to be offered.”
“Sometimes it's more generous to take than give,he said."How?" Caroline asked."To let the other person give you what he has to offer. If you're always the one giving, you never have to feel disappointed, because you don't expect anything in return. But it's miserly in its own way. Because you never leave yourself open or give the other person a chance.”
“What would answers offer and--more importantly--what might they take away?”
“Never ask why, always ask what.”
“They never asked, I kept offering.”
