“One day of happiness is worth more than a lifetime of sorrow .... Under ordinary circumstances, jealousy is a suspicion to the person who excites it and degrading to the person who indulges it.”
“If a person who indulges in gluttony is a glutton, and a person who commits a felony is a felon, then God is an iron.”
“If all our happiness is bound up entirely in our personal circumstances it is difficult not to demand of life more than it has to give.”
“Here was a boy who liked flaws, who saw them not as failings but as strengths. Who knew such a person could exist, or what would have happened if we'd found each other under different circumstances? Maybe in a perfect world. But not in this one.”
“The one person who has more illusions than the dreamer is the man of action.”
“A person who reads lives more than one life, but that means that they die more than once as well.”
