“Life is about decisions, so quit blaming someone else for the bad choices you make.”

“We are put on this earth for a purpose and it isn't to serve ourselves.”

“Making bad decisions is a part of life. Blaming others for your bad decisions is immature.”

“The only thing you have to do in this life is die," said Mrs. Pinsky..."everything else is a choice.”

“We have complete choice as individuals: the only decisions we can take are our own. And yet so many species use the state of being an individual as an excuse for inaction, helplessness and irresponsibility.No situation is so overwhelming that action is pointless. Targassat of Surang.”

“If only [there] really was a door and [you] could walk through it into another life, where threads didn't snarl and stitches didn't go all tight and tiny. Where people loved you and didn't leave you for someone else.”

“It is impossible that a town will not play a part in your life, it does not even make much difference whether you have more good or bad things to say of it, it draws your mind to it, by a mental law of gravitation.”
