“One of the things I'd learned ... was how to take a compliment. Just say, "Thank you." It's the only response a confident person can make.”
“It's just that it's impossible to be a broken or whole person. You can only be a person. You can only exist, you can only belong to yourself, and you can only be responsible for your own happiness or belonging or whatever. That broken-part-piece-whole thing is just a trick of the mortal mind.”
“You gotta learn how to take a compliment, because I'm not going to stop making them.”
“I'm trying to compliment you," Barclay say. "Can't you just say thanks?”
“Above all else, I had learned the one thing every person has to learn to make it through life: the only person you can truly count on is yourself.”
“I'd rather take coffee than compliments just now.”
