“If you think that you're so smart and holy, that means you haven't yet realized that a part of what we experience today...is a result of our stupidity and wickedness in the past.”
“You've got the holy trinity of what a girl wants, she said. Cute, smart, funny. I don't think you realize that.”
“Damn it! Are you so stupid you don't know what I'm going to do to you?"Her eyes bore into his without flinching. "Are you so stupid you haven't figured out yet that it doesn't matter?”
“Everyday is a new learning experience. What you take from your lessons is what you will have to combat the re-occurrence of the situation. Those who find themselves repeating the same mistakes are those who haven't learned from their past. Open your mind and realize that no one is perfect. We all falter in our lives, but if you don't realize it to repair it you will forever be lost within the confines of your own mental anguish and never realize why.”
“In fact, when you're trying to change, it is sometimes preferable not to rely so much on your experience. In today's world of change, that experience is almost a negative. Why? Because experience can tie you to the past. Experience ties you to old ways of doing things and old ways of thinking that for today may no longer be nearly as effective. For more effective change, you need flexibility--a willingness to listen more to others than to yourself and to try new things rather than repeat what you've always done.”
“If you realize you aren't so wise today as you thought you were yesterday, you're wiser today.”
