Telling a true friend that you need something makes it unnecessary for you to ask them for that thing.

Requited love is not as likely as requited hatred.

Some people talk about other people’s failures with so much pleasure that you would swear they are talking about their own successes.

When you love someone, you end up caring about each and every person they love. When you hate someone, you end up caring about every single person who hates them.

The best way to hurt someone who hates you is to love them or someone they hate; the second best is to refuse to hate them back; and the third best is to learn from their mistakes.

A genuine enemy is more useful than a fake friend.

The number of things we do not like about someone skyrockets as soon as we find out that they do not like us.

It is humanly impossible to be an entirely bad or good person.
