“Count calories if you like, but go ahead and gorge yourself on books. What have you got to lose but a small mind?”

“You can’t look too far ahead. Do that and you’ll lose sight of what you’re doing and stumble. I’m not saying you should focus solely on the details right in front of you, mind you. You’ve got to look ahead a bit or else you’ll bump into something. You’ve got to conform to the proper order and at the same time keep an eye out for what’s ahead. That’s critical, no matter what you’re doing.”

“If you buy chocolate with loose change the calories don’t count.”

“Everyone knows that if you buy chocolate with spare change, then the calories don't count.”

“Still, being alone doesn't mean you have to be miserable. In that sense it's different from losing something. You've still got yourself, even if you lose everything else. You've got to have faith in yourself and not get down just because you're on your own.”

“You may lose the people you love. You may lose the things you have. But no matter what happens, never lose yourself.”
