“What you have become is the price you paid to get what you used to want.”

“Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least.”

“Happiness isn't wanting what you can get, but wanting what you have.”

“I clearly see you a tapeworm, but not a cobra, not a cobra at all…no good at the flute! (…) I’ll go applaud you when you finally become a true monster, when you’ll have paid them, the witches, what you have to, their price, so they transmute you, blossom you, into a true phenomenon. Into a tapeworm that plays the flute.”

“This was the price you paid for sleeping together. This was the end of the trap. This was what people got for loving each other.”

“Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known.”

“You don't become what you want, you become what you believe.”

“You have to know what you want to get it.”

“Getting what you want is just as difficult as not getting what you want. Because then you have to figure out what to do with it instead of figuring out what to do without it.”

“Understand and accept that you will have to make sacrifices to achieve your goal. If you are willing to pay the price, however high, you may be surprised what you get in exchange. Pay the price.”
