Height is just a vertical number - it doesn't mean shit when it comes to your character or the kind of life you live.”
“listen to me as one listens to the rain, the years go by, the moments return, do you hear the footsteps in the next room? not here, not there: you hear them in another time that is now, listen to the footsteps of time, inventor of places with no weight, nowhere, listen to the rain running over the terrace, the night is now more night in the grove, lightning has nestled among the leaves, a restless garden adrift-go in, your shadow covers this page.”

“Listen to me…
If someone wants to leave, just let them go.
A tree has never cried for the leaves that fall from it in autumn.
Because love comes from the heart, not by force.
And the heart is like glass, once it breaks, it can’t be fixed.
And words are like bullets, once they’re fired, they never come back.
Be like a well, don’t give your secrets to anyone.
Don’t be like a house without a door, anyone can open it and close it.
The mountain always stays high, even if the fog covers it.
A pure intention protects you when wolves increase on your path.
Gold even if it’s covered in dust,
Its value always remains high.
And whoever doesn’t know your worth today, tomorrow time will show them how high your place really is.”

“Listen to me, Jez. There's no reason for you to die-"

“Listen to me, you bastard."
