Perfect

A good book, Marcus, can not be measured only by its last words, but by the collective effect of all the words that preceded them. About half a second after finishing your book, after reading the last word, the reader must feel overwhelmed with a powerful feeling; For a moment he must only think of everything he has just read, look at the cover and smile with a touch of sadness because he will miss all the characters. A good book, Marcus, is a book that we regret to have finished.

Respect is one of the greatest expressions of love.

We never believe we’re beautiful, no matter how many times we hear it. We never believe it until someone says it in the right way.

Be alone. Eat alone, take yourself on dates, sleep alone. In the midst of this you will learn about yourself. You will grow, you will figure out what inspires you, you will curate your own dreams, your own beliefs, your own stunning clarity, and when you do meet the person who makes your cells dance, you will be sure of it, because you are sure of yourself.
