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.

Most sane human beings who are over the age of six usually act or react not as per what they genuinely feel or really think but in accordance with the expectations of those around them.

Not having expected an event makes it seem way better or worse than it really is.

We make life even more painful by having expectations and preferences.

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

To halve the number of times that other people hurt you: halve the number of expectations that you have from other people.
