“You cannot be with someone just because you don’t want to hurt him. You have your own happiness to think about.”

“Just thinking about a friend makes you want to do a happy dance, because a friend is someone who loves you in spite of your faults.”

“Participate in your own dreams, don’t just say what you want or complain about what you don’t have.”

“If you are happy, don’t analyse your happiness, don’t ask questions and don’t even think about it; just live it to the fullest!”

“There is a kind of crying I hope you have not experienced, and it is not just crying about something terrible that has happened, but a crying for all of the terrible things that have happened, not just to you but to everyone you know and to everyone you don’t know and even the people you don’t want to know, a crying that cannot be diluted by a brave deed or a kind word, but only by someone holding you as your shoulders shake and your tears run down your face.”

“There is more to loving someone than just making yourself happy. You have to want him to be happier than you are.”
