Kindle Notes & Highlights
“What if I fall? Oh but my darling, what if you fly?”
“The most successful people in life didn’t stand in the corner and hope their talents would be miraculously noticed. They put themselves out there and blatantly told the world what they had to offer. Keep that in mind.”
“Love is such a complicated thing. I doubt I’d even recognize it if I experienced it.” “You would,” he said firmly. “It can’t be described in a way another person would understand. It’s totally subjective. And it’s illogical. It doesn’t make any sense. But the feeling is so paramount, so strong, that it can’t be denied. If you felt it for him, you would know. Your heart would burn with pain every time he left you. And it would burn even more when he was near.”
“Work can never be more important than family. It’s just a job, Skye. I will never skip out on my family to work. Nothing is more important than you, Roland, and your mother. I don’t come to these things out of obligation. I come because I want to be here. I will never miss a dance recital or a business conference. I will always be there. Don’t ever worry about me being busy.”
“Like I’ve said a hundred times, work means nothing to me. Businesses rise and collapse every day. Regimes grow and fall. But my family means everything to me.
A father loves a daughter Like no other love on earth. From the day that he first meets her Nothing can compare her worth.
A father’s love is so unique It cannot be replaced He will always treasure times with her And the memories embraced.
“The course of true love never did run smooth.”
You need to live your life for yourself, not other people. No matter what you do or how aware you are of other people’s feelings, you aren’t going to make everyone happy. So don’t bother.
“My point is, even though I went through a hard time, I wouldn’t change it for anything. Because when you do finally find where you belong and the person you belong with, you realize you wouldn’t have appreciated it so much unless you struggled to begin with.”
“You will find the place where you belong and the guy you belong with. But never speed up time. Because we really don’t have long on this earth. Appreciate what you have. Because before you know it, it’s gone.”
“The guys that lie and treat you like you actually mean something to them then run around with other girls and spit out lies more than truths are the real assholes. I don’t like hurting people so I avoid it. I get this reputation for being a jackass when all I am is honest. It gets old.”
“We’re always our worst critic. You should show someone you trust and whose opinion you value. Then let them decide.”
Relationships fall apart regularly. I don’t think that necessarily means it failed. Sometimes you need more than just love to stay together. You need friendship, trust, understanding, and passion.
Success is your only option. Failure is not.”
