“But even if you have what everyone else wants- if it isn't what you want, it isn't what you want”
“Happiness isn't wanting what you can get, but wanting what you have.”
“Relationships are complicated, but happiness in a relationship isn't: It's just wanting exactly what you have. Wanting something else is dispiriting.”
“This isn't what I wanted. This isn't what I would have chosen. You must know that. It's important you know that.”
“Darling, I don't want you; I've got no place for you; I only want what you give. I don't want the whole of anyone.... What you want is the whole of me-isn't it, isn't it?-and the whole of me isn't there for anybody. In that full sense you want me I don't exist.”
“The news isn't there to tell you what happened. It's there to tell you what it wants you to hear or what it thinks you want to hear.”
