“Finally, to be an open-minded person, you must let go of how you look at things and focus on how they are in themselves.”

“It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves.”

“A person could leave you so quickly. So much history and time and memories, but they snuck away from you, and other things took their place. How could you hold on? Wait. A bigger question. The biggest. How could you hold on and
let go?”

“You must learn to live within yourself … You must establish the values by which you live. You must first recognize the need, and if it is right you will be amazed at how things will open up.”

“Listen to me, Siddalee, and listen good: There is no excuse to let your looks go, no matter how poor you are. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, but honey let me tell you, ugliness will get you nowhere.”

“Everything hinges on how you look at things”

“Funny, when you finally faced reality, it was amazing how clearly you could see things.”

“No matter how honestly you open up to someone, there are still things you cannot reveal.”

“For it all depends on how we look at things, and not on how they are in themselves. The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.”

“Real strength is not how much you lift, it is what you can let go of.”
