All right, you're in. Don't need you. You scare me.
If you're just safe about the choices you make, you don't grow.
— Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out...
— What easy way? There is no easy way, no matter what I do, somebody gets hurt.
You don`t get to choose if you get hurt in this world but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.
What matters is not what is being done of us, but what we do ourselves with what has been done of us.
Original (French):
L’important n’est pas ce qu’on fait de nous mais ce que nous faisons nous-même de ce qu’on a fait de nous.
