“People go on about the first time being important, but it's the second time that really matters. Or the second person, anyway.”

“if you love two people at the same time, choose the second. Because if you really loved the first one, you wouldn't have fallen for the second.”

“...the second time you see something is really the first time. You need to know how it ends before you can appreciate how beautifully it's put together from the beginning.”

“I think being a woman is like being Irish... Everyone says you're important and nice, but you take second place all the time.”

“Live as if you were living already for the second time and as if you had acted the first time as wrongly as you are about to act now.”

“The strange thing about seeing someone for first time in nine years is the way they look totally different, just for a second, a split second, and then they look at you the way they always have, as if no time has passed between you.”
