Quote by Khamsing Srinawk

“The American way of life is based on competition - competing with rivals, competing with anyone around and competing with oneself. Life today must be better than yesterday, and tomorrow must be better than today. It is a life which always looks ahead, sometimes without destination or aim.”

“I believe you are afraid, but only of Cale, and not that he would hurt you physically, but that he could emotionally. You've come to love him, dear. I can read and feel it in your memories and thoughts. You recognized from the first that he was special, that you could come to care for him. You used needing to keep a professional footing between you as an excuse to protect yourself but couldn't make yourself stay away as you felt you should and found excuses to see him every day. But you find it impossible to believe that he could love you. For all that you are an attractive, intelligent, and successful woman... for some reason you don't think you are worthy of love.”

“Men are more visual by nature and rarely listen to conversation they find boring. Their minds drift and they focus on something else, usually what they’re seeing. They learn to simply respond in a way that seems appropriate to tonal changes. Women pay more attention to conversation. Communication is more important to them, so—while men will be satisfied with a vague memory of my blathering on with some boring subject—women would fret over not recalling what it was about. It’s easier to approach them face to face and embrace them as you bite, then give them the vague memory of a passionate moment.”

“Vincent wanted a life mate. He wanted someone to share his hopes and dreams and even his sorrows with. His parents’ relationship had been full of love and support and caring. They’d been true life mates, bonded and inseparable until his mother’s death. He wanted that. He wanted someone to laugh with and cry with and to hold close in the dark of night and the harsh light of day. It was why he’d traveled so far and wide during his life. Vincent had been actively seeking his life mate.”

“Las mujeres tienen suerte, aunque el noventa y nueve por ciento no lo sabe. ¿A qué edad se lanzó Santa Teresa a reformar monasterios? A los cincuenta. Y podría citar muchos casos más. De los veinte a los cuarenta las mujeres se hallan absortas biológicamente... y con toda razón. Se preocupan de los niños, los maridos, los amantes... Las relaciones personales. O subliman todas estas cosas y se lanzan a una carrera, de forma típicamente femenina y emocional. Pero la segunda flora­ción natural es de la mente y el espíritu y su edad cuando una alcanza la madurez. Según van envejeciendo, las mujeres se interesan más en cosas impersonales. Los in­tereses masculinos se reducen, los de las mujeres se am­plían. A los sesenta un hombre se repite, por lo general, como un gramófono. A la misma edad, una mujer, si tiene cierto individualismo, es un ser interesante.”
