“Every king of love, it seems, is the only one. It doesn't happen twice.”

“Love... doesn't happen every day. It doesn't happen at all for some people”

“Did you know I always thought you were braver than me? Did you ever guess that that was why I was so afraid? It wasn’t that I only loved some of you. But I wondered if you could ever love more than some of me. I knew I’d miss you. But the surprising thing is, you never leave me. I never forget a thing. Every kind of love, it seems, is the only one. It doesn’t happen twice. And I never expected that you could have a broken heart and love with it too, so much that it doesn’t seem broken at all.”

“One's only rival is one's own potentialities. One's only failure is failing to live up to one's own possibilities. In this sense, every man can be a king, and must therefore be treated like a king.”

“Every moment happens twice: inside and outside, and they are two different histories.”

“Orphans are the only ones who get to choose their fathers, and they love them twice as much.”
