“And you know that when the truth is told that you can get what you want or you can just get old.”

“Experience is what you get when you didn’t know what you wanted.”

“You can live your life two ways: You can use your language to manipulate. You can use it as a tool to get what you want. But the problem with that is that it assumes you know what you want, and that you're right. And that's a problem, because there's lots of things you don't know, and if you get what you want you may find that (A.) You didn't really want it, and (B.) that you're not the person that started the journey towards that. That happens a lot to people, especially when they use their language in a manipulative way.”

“The truth is a trap: you can not get it without it getting you; you cannot get the truth by capturing it, only by its capturing you.”

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

“It was so much easier when I didn't want anything. Not getting what you want can make you cruel.”

“Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.”

“When you are used to the kind of life -of never getting anything you want- you stop knowing what it is you want.”

“Isn’t that what it means to be civilized? That you can wait to get what you want?”

“If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever.”
