“The heart makes its choices without weighing the consequences. It doesn't look ahead to the lonely nights that follow.”

“All choices have consequences,' she said []. 'That doesn't mean we're not free to make them. It's one of the perplexities of the human condition”

“Every choice has a consequence, every consequence another choice. Little agonies waiting to be embraced. Only the moment before the choice really weighs anything. Very heavy moments, exploding into nothing.”

“Everything you do in life, every choice you make, has a consequence. When you do things without thinking, then you aren't making the choice. The choice is making you.”

“Choose your pleasures for yourself, and do not let them be imposed upon you. Follow nature and not fashion: weigh the present enjoyment of your pleasures against the necessary consequences of them, and then let your own common sense determine your choice.”

“Think about how it looks, Samantha. Not just how it feels. Make smart choices. Always consider consequences.”
