“Everything’s a risk. Not doing anything is a risk. It’s up to you.”

“If things go wrong don’t go with them.”

And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.

“Despair is the price one pays for self-awareness. Look deeply into life, and you’ll always find despair.”

“What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. Don’t complain.”

Adore each other. Be fiendishly smitten. Be frantically in love. Can there be too many perfumes, too many rosebuds, too many nightingales? Can lovers love each other too much, be too enchanting, too beguiling, too charming? Is it possible to be too much alive, too happy? Adore each other, and never mind the rest.
