We are enslaved, not by the promise we have made, but by the desire to keep it.

In some cases, we first need to disappoint or enrage someone, or to break their heart, for them to finally show us their true colours.

Every single person is a fool, insane, a failure, or a bad person to at least ten people.

Disappointment is an unwanted—but invited—guest.

A man whose mind has completely left childhood behind would not be surprised if he were to walk in on his wife having sex with her father … or with his mother.

Expectation is the only seed of disappointment.

Destroying the seeds of disappointment requires you to unexpect the expected.
