Quote by Taylor Jenkins Reid

“Evelyn looks at me with purpose. "Do you understand what I'm telling you? When you're given an opportunity to change your life, be ready to do whatever it takes to make it happen. The world doesn't give things, you take things. If you learn one thing from me, it should probably be that.”

“To je isto kao kad se jedan čovjek ima popeti uz pet nižih stepenica a drugi samo uz jednu, koja je međutim za njega isto tako visoka kao svih onih pet zajedno; prvi će savladati ne samo onih pet nego i stotine i tisuće drugih stepenica, on će proživjeti velik i vrlo naporan život, ali ni jedna od stepenica uz koje se popeo neće za njega imati onakvo značenje kakvo je za onoga drugoga imala ona jedna, prva, visoka stepenica, uz koju on nema snage popeti se, uz koju se ne može popeti i s koje, naravno, ne može ni sići.”

“Why is it that people who are absorbed by something are seen as sad? I can't explain it, but for me it reverses the true state of affairs. To be engaged is to be a part, to be absorbed and fulfilled. To be cool, to be detached from things and to have no passionate feelings is the real sadness. At the heart of depression, that quintessentially modern malaise, is a deep sense of separation from the rest of life.”
