“The truth is that, no matter what kind of game you find yourself in, no matter how good or bad the luck, you can change your life completely with a single thought or a single act of love”

“[Everyone needs] a woman who'll listen, take your side, tell the truth - or not, as you need it. A woman you can count on, no matter what, and who'll love you no matter how much you screw up.”

“Sometimes, opening up your eyes and realising what you have – no matter how little you think – helps you find yourself.”

“No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you've come from, you can always change, become a better version of yourself.”

“If you marry the wrong person for the wrong reasons, then no matter how hard you work, it's never going to work, because then you have to completely change yourself, completely change them, completely — by that time, you're both dead.”

“Forgiveness is not a single act, but a matter of constant practice.”

“Even if it’s not your ideal life, you can always choose it. No matter what your life is, choosing it changes everything.”

“Fireflies remind me of that no matter how big the troubles may be, a small lamp of hope can dispel darkness. It doesn't matter if you are small, but what matters is your belief in yourself.”

“How do you go on knowing that you will never again - not ever, ever - see the person you have loved? How do you survive a single hour, a single minute, a single second of that knowledge? How do you hold yourself together?”

“…I said everything that matters… Don't take my advice. Or anyone's advice. Trust yourself. For good or for bad, happy or unhappy, it's your life, and what you do with it has always been entirely up to you.”
