“Longevity is not whether or not you break, it is how well you recover and repair when you do.”

“When you break the heart of the philosopher, you must apply great force and cunning strategy, but when the deed is completed, the heart lies in great stony ruin at your feet. If you succeed in breaking it, the job is done once and for all. It will not be repaired.”

“Well, you can’t control what they do, but you can control how you respond to it…whether you allow it to drive you crazy, or occupy all of your thoughts, or whether you note what they’re doing, consider it, and make a conscious decision as to how much you’ll let it affect you”

“Mistakes are part of the game. It's how well you recover from them, that's the mark of a great player.”

“love gave someone the power to break you. I'd been broken beyond repair.”

“It isn't whether you do it well or ill, it's that you do it all.”
