"Lost is the time that you don't spend for love."

Torquato Tasso

“You got a lot of ladies to get through. Youâ€™re still young. First loveâ€™s the sweetest, but it doesnâ€™t last.â€ â€œNot ever?â€ I ask. Grandad looks at me with a seriousness he reserves for moments when he wants me to really pay attention. â€œWhen we fall that first time, weâ€™re not really in love with the girl. Weâ€™re in love with being in love. Weâ€™ve got no idea what sheâ€™s really aboutâ€”or what sheâ€™s capable of. Weâ€™re in love with our idea of her and of who we become around her. Weâ€™re idiots.”
“You should get married. When I was younger, I was into the fame and fortune, and now I realize that a loving wife and happy children - that's life's greatest consolation prize.”
“I'll hit them when it matters.”
“I canâ€™t help feeling a little bit competitive and a little bit disappointed in myself that Iâ€™m already so far behind. After all, Yulikova thinks Barron has a real future with the Bureau. She told me so. I told her that sociopaths are relentlessly charming. I think she figured I was joking.”
“Without ambition one starts nothing. Without work one finishes nothing. The prize will not be sent to you. You have to win it. The man who knows how will always have a job. The man who also knows why will always be his boss. As to methods there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.”
“Well, I believe that "thinking" is just as real a phenomenon in the world as anything else, and just as worthy of exploration. Maybe even more? So writing about "thought" to me is like writing about a tree or anything else real.”
