I've lived my life again just telling it to you.

From this experience, I understood the danger of focusing only on what isn't there. What if I came to the end of my life and realized that I'd spent every day watching for a man who would never come to me? What an unbearable sorrow it would be, to realize I'd never really tasted the things I'd eaten, or seen the places I'd been, because I'd thought of nothing but the Chairman even while my life was drifting away from me. And yet if I drew my thoughts back from him, what life would I have? I would be like a dancer who had practiced since childhood for a performance she would never give.

My feelings of disgust had been so loud within me, they’d nearly drowned out everything else.

Watch for the thing that will show itself to you. Because that thing, when you find it, will be your future.

Never give up; for even rivers someday wash dams away.

A wounded tiger is a dangerous beast.

Anyone can have a good day. The question is what do you do on a bad day. That's when you're being tested. In a very tangible sense, a bad day shows your innermost essence more than a good day.
