“We never believe we're beautiful, no matter how many times we hear it. We never believe it until someone says it in the right way.”

“There are lots of things we never understand, no matter how many years we put on, no matter how much experience we accumulate.”

“We all believe silly things. What matters is how silly and how many.”

“How is it that we never completely comprehend our love for someone until they’re gone?”

“We seldom know what we're hearing when we hear something for the first time, but one thing is certain: we hear it as we will never hear it again. We return to the moment to experience it, I suppose, but we can never really find it, only its memory, the faintest imprint of what it really was, what it meant.”

“As many times as I told her she was beautiful, I know that she never believed me. As many times as I said it didn’t matter, I knew that to her it did.”

“We're not doing what we do because of sanctions. We're doing what we do because we believe it is right.”

“After all, we are always on time, behind time, in time, but never out of time, no matter how often we are told that we are.”

“No matter how qualified or deserving we are, we will never reach a better life until we can imagine it for ourselves and allow ourselves to have it.”

“Never confuse your right to say what you believe with a right to never be disagreed with and ridiculed for saying what you believe.”
