"If I'm chasing the wrong thing, what I'm chasing will end up chasing me. And in the end, I'm less likely to be the one doing the catching."

"Why is it when I pursue the praises of men I find myself with everything that I've looked for but nothing that I need? That's because I have an extraordinary habit of looking for the wrong thing in the wrong place."

"If you watch Olivier's interviews, he has this reptilian tongue; it seems too big for his mouth. My pursuit of that became distracting, so I let it go. The thrill was finding the right pair of glasses."

"I can plod. I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything."

"The roads of life are paved wide and skirt the mountains. And these very roads are choked with a steady stream of pathetically pedantic travelers who in reality have no intent of traveling. And if we are to discover the real travelers, much less join them, we will find them out on precarious paths that defy the roads and scale the mountains."

"I don't get why prom is like a mini - wedding these days...No one should spend that kind of money for a high school dance."
Trust
"We should have the right to have someone leave when we want, to only allow those in who we want in. But the truth is, people can force their way into your life whenever they choose. If they want to remind you forevermore that they exist, they will. They can reappear in a card or call or a 'chance' meeting, they can remember your birthday or the day you met with some innocuous small note. No matter how little they matter in your new life, they can insist on being seen and recognized and remembered."
Boundaries
"It was strange to have those papers signed. Like any big project or crisis that takes every waking and non - waking moment in your life, it was odd to have it concluded. A move, a college degree, a wedding - something long - strived - for is completed, whatever the outcome, and there is a huge space where it all once was. All that open time now, and a continuing nagging sense that there's something you need to be doing."
Ambition
"It's good to let God pick a man for you. We don't do so well when we pick them ourselves. They end up lipsticks in a drawer, all those wrong colors you thought looked so good in the package."
Integrity
"Good can sit in the distance, just beyond your view, waiting, until you go toward it."
Pursuit
"When what you want is a relationship, and not a person, get a dog."
Life
"My most memorable teacher was Rich Campe, my third - grade teacher at Fairlands Elementary in Pleasanton, California."
Mentorship
"If you don't participate, you're just taking up oxygen. (Bunny)Life is a banquet. Approach it with hunger. (Chuck)"
Experience
"People can attach themselves to something - an idea, another person, a desire - with an impossibly strong grip, and in the case of restless ghosts, a grip stronger than death. Will is a powerful thing. Will - it's supposed to be a good treat, a more determined and persistent version of determination and persistence. But will and obsession - they sit right next to each other. They pretend to be strangers and all the while meet secretly at midnight.'"
Psychology
"It was one of those times you feel a sense of loss, even though you didn't have something in the first place. I guess that's what disappointment is - a sense of loss for something you never had."
