"Don't let someone rearrange your path because they lost sight of their own."
"Independence is a heady draught, and if you drink it in your youth, it can have the same effect on the brain as young wine does. It does not matter that its taste is not always appealing. It is addictive and with each drink you want more."

Love to her isn't a maybe thing, nor is it attachment and any man whom thinks he will ever own her would be best not to try at all."
"For [Jane Austen and the readers of Pride and Prejudice], as for Mr. Darcy, [Elizabeth Bennett's] solitary walks express the independence that literally takes the heroine out of the social sphere of the houses and their inhabitants, into a larger, lonelier world where she is free to think: walking articulates both physical and mental freedom."

Where you ended up was the product that was spit out at the end-and there was no going back for a redo. You couldnYt take a peek at what youYd manufactured and decide, Oh, wait, I wanted to make sewing machines instead of machine guns; let me go back to the beginning and start again. One shot. That was all you got."

Height is just a vertical number - it doesn't mean shit when it comes to your character or the kind of life you live."
"And why had those prayers been focused heavenward? Well, it kind of made sense, didn't it? Even when there were no more options for the body, the heart's wishes find a way out, and as with all warmth, love rises. Besides, the will to fly was in the nature of the soul, so its home had to be up above."
