“People disappoint you so often. I hardly knew how to react when they surpassed all your hopes.”
“I think of how emotions seem so magnified when you're a child.Joy is more all-encompassing, disappointments more crushing, hope morepalpable.”
“How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.”
“How people treat you is their karma... How you react is yours...”
“If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it would not seem so wonderful at all.”
“Well, you know how it feels if you begin hoping for something that you want desperately badly; you almost fight against the hope because it is too good to be true; you've been disappointed so often before.”
