1-We do not choose our lives, but we do decide what to do with the joys and sorrows that we receive.
2-Living is making decisions and assuming the consequences.
3-Do you think memories can fill the present?
4-If evil exists, it is hidden in our fears.
5-Not everyone needs to be happy all the time. In fact, no one in this world can. You have to learn to deal with the reality of life.
6-One does not choose his life: it is life that chooses him. And if what he has reserved for you are joys or sorrows, it is something that is beyond your understanding. Accept it and move on.
7-We do not show our feelings, because people may think that we are vulnerable and take advantage of it.
8-Sincerity: does not rejoice with injustices, rejoices with the truth.
9-To love is to transform slavery into freedom.
10-Even if it is only a psychological limit, although deep down we know that sooner or later death will enter without asking permission, it is good to pretend that we have everything under control.
11-That small things lead to great transformations.
12-When you love, you have to be prepared for everything. Because love is like a kaleidoscope, like the ones we used to play with as children. It is in constant motion and never repeats itself.
13-We have become one at the time of the kiss, and now we are like two strangers.
14-We love others, we love ourselves, we love our enemies, and that will make us never lack for anything in our lives.

18-Trusting who you love always gives good results.
19-I think that jealousy is something typical of sick people, insecure, without self-esteem, who feel inferior and believe that anyone can endanger their relationship.
20-I think there are people who spend years letting pressure build up inside them, without realizing it, and one day any nonsense makes them lose their minds. Then they say, 'Enough. I can not stand it anymore". Some commit suicide. Others get divorced. There are also those who go to the poor areas of Africa and try to save the world.
21-Melancholy has turned into apathy.
22-What kills a relationship between two people is precisely the lack of challenges, the feeling that there is nothing new. We have to continue to be a surprise to each other.
23-When we love someone, we are not satisfied with knowing only their soul, we want to know what their body is like.

26-Try to get carried away at night from time to time, look at the stars and try to get intoxicated with the feeling of infinity. The night, with all its spells, is also a path to enlightenment.

35-I have no interest in being happy. I prefer to live passionately, which is dangerous because you never know what we will find later.
36-The happy images of the past and the things that could have been and were not. The desire to venture never undertaken.
