“So you should remember that, when you're thinking about what other people can deal with. Maybe it's not so bad.”

“I think it's very important that you make your own decision about what you are. Therefore you're responsible for your actions, so you don't blame other people.”

“It's ok to care about what other people think, but you should give a little more weight to what you, yourself, think...The habit of thinking is the habit of gaining strength. You're stronger than you believe.”

“You’re so worried about what other people think of you – other people do not think of you!”

“You spend your life so worried about what others think, when in reality, people mostly don't think. On the few occasions when they do, true, it is often something bad, but one has to at least admire the fact that they're thinking at all.”

“I don't feel the slightest interest in the next world; I think it's here. And I think anything good that you're going to do, you should do for other people here and not so you can try to have a happy time in the next world.”
