“MARIE    I’m saying that the right man for you might be out there right now and if you don’t grab him, someone else will, and you’ll have to spend the rest of your life knowing that someone else is married to your husband.”

“I think it's possible to realize you love someone as deeply as you know how to love and not end up spending the rest of your life with him.”

“Cease to know or to tell
Or to see or to be your own
Have someone else's will as your own
Have someone else's will as your own.”

“If you don't prioritize your life, someone else will.”

“Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?”

“Figure out what is real for you. No use leaning on someone else's story all your life.”

“Nobody has a perfect life and it's entirely possible that if you want someone else's life they are busy wanting someone else's too–maybe even yours.”

“Don’t be stupid, Katra. Never speak in anger and never try to force your will onto someone else. You’ll never find peace in that. (Acheron)”

“How do you know that you are not part of a book? That someone's not reading your story right now?”

“Personally I think the only meaning your life will ever have is whatever your involvement means to someone else. The best strategy I think, if you want your life to mean something, try making someone else’s life meaningful. But if you want your life to mean something five billion years from now, it won’t –no matter what. Sorry. But what matters now still matters now.”
