“If you must take care that your opinions do not differ in the least from those of the person with whom you are talking, you might just as well be alone.”

“Sometimes the best advice comes from those whom you least expect…therefore take no one for granted”

“If you think you’re the only person for whom life is painful, you’re wrong. And if you don’t mind letting yourself die like a dog, at least have the decency to remember that there are those of us who do care – although, to tell the truth, I don’t see why?”

“You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried.”
