“Sorry doesnâ€™t mean anything! Not when youâ€™re still with him. Itâ€™s not just that you cheatedâ€”itâ€™s that heâ€™s still here, and youâ€™re still with him. It just goes on and on, and it hurts every single time I see you with him. I hate it that he makes you smile, and that thereâ€™s nothing I can do to stop this. I canâ€™t think straight, and everything hurts, and nothing makes sense anymore. Youâ€™re shredding my heart with one hand and stroking his ego with the other. And itâ€™s killing me, Faythe. Youâ€™re killing me. And itâ€™s only going to get worse, now that everyone knows.”

I know that some people like: sunny and seventy-five, sunny and seventy-five, sunny and seventy-five, but you take me as I am and never forget to pack an umbrella.”
“A losing trader can do little to transform himself into a winning trader. A losing trader is not going to want to transform himself. That's the kind of thing winning traders do.”
“The world doesn't come to the clever folks, it comes to the stubborn, obstinate, one-idea-at-a-time people.”
