“You really have to let me fight my own battles. You can't constantly second-guess me and try to protect me. It's stifling, Christian. I'll never flourish with your incessant interference. I need some freedom. I wouldn't dream of meddling in your affairs.
…if we are to have any hope of a future together, you have to trust me and trust my judgment. Yes, I'll get it wrong sometimes--I'll make mistakes, but I have to learn.
…I know you want to control everything, and I understand why, but you can't. It's an impossible goal…you have to learn to let go.”
Fifty Shades Darker (2011) Anastasia Steele, Chapter 11, p. 273-274.

“I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours.
I said that.”

Context: Half of the people can be part right all of the time,
Some of the people can be all right part of the time,
But all the people can't be all right all the time.
I think Abraham Lincoln said that.
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours.
I said that.
